HGST | Senior Software Engineer | San Jose, CA 2014 - 2016

  • Developed ECS pulse algorithm using C++ and Matlab to detect fly height above HD disks, improving takt time of self-servo write process by ~50%, and allowing for ability to filter by specific frequency.
  • Reduced wait-time of timing measurement algorithm by ~33% by starting detection algorithm off of any sector, rather than waiting for specific sectors, using C++ and Matlab.
  • Wrote Matlab script to post-process data, and optimize TFC parameters for better detection of touchdowns, resulting in ~15% reduction in early and late detections.
  • Functioned as team lead for fly height product, delegating tasks to 3 engineers, and working closely with Japan office to optimize and improve touchdown parameters by analyzing data using Matlab.


STM Norway | Software Engineer | Lysaker, Norway 2012 - 2012

  • Engineered server traffic simulator using C and Java to generate 5,000+ packets/second to test throughput.
  • Used Wireshark to monitor traffic of 5 servers to locate the threshold of packet loss in TCP or UDP mode.
  • Monitored frequency spectrum of UDP board using VHDL to initialize hardware and verify modulation specs.


STM Networks, Inc. | Software Engineer, Intern | Irvine, CA 2008 - 2008

  • Architected SQL server to automate billing of 1000+ VoIP networks in Nepal, with contract worth $8 million+.
