Projects

Some projects I have worked on

Udemy Course - I made a course on Udemy that teaches people how to develop a full online multiplayer game that consists of two separate server and client applications. Course is developed using the Qt Framework with the client application specifically focused around Qt Quick/QML.
MontyTheSoftwareEngineer - I started making some YouTube videos showing different Qt/QML tips and tricks.
Millicell DCI - Cloud connected digital microscrope for adherent cell culture imaging and on-device analysis. Large capacitive touch user screen interface. Embedded software engineer in charge of device software development (including bare metal, custom embedded linux operating system, Qt front end application, and OpenCV image processing algorithm development) as well as assisted with electronics development.
Scepter 3.0 - The Scepter™ 3.0 Cell Counter is the only automated cell counter that's portable and handheld with compact LCD display. Sole software engineer in charge of software development (including bare metal, custom embedded linux operating system, and Qt front end application) as well as assisted with electronics development.
Scribble - Personal project where I developed a Multiplayer turn-based drawing game written in Qt/QML. Dedicated server application supports multiple simultaneous game lobbies, asynchronous game lobby chat, player disconnected/reconnected logic, and much more. Client-side drawing canvas includes undo/redo, fast paint bucket (flood fill implemented in C++ and propogated to QML), and more.
CT Image Reconstruction - CT image reconstruction software
Compass Call - Compass Call is an airborne tactical electronic attack weapon system produced by BAE Systems
FDA/Medical Intravenous Infusion System - Ivenix Large Volume Infusion Pump (LVP)

Experiences

Senior Embedded Firmware and UI Software Engineer

2018 - Present
MilliporeSigma | Burlington, MA

Led software development efforts for MilliporeSigma's Life Science Research and Cell Culture Workflow Tools department throughout all stages of product and software development. Projects consisted of internet connected devices leveraging the NXP IMX7 platform with a custom embedded linux OS built with the yocto project and front end software developed using Qt and QML. Embedded work included modifying the kernel, drivers, and included software packages; setting up development environments, building the OS for deployment to SD and eMMC, building cross compile toolchain, and developing UI application from the ground up. Latest version of Qt Framework was also cross compiled from source utilizing toolchain and deployed to target embedded system.

Senior Software Engineer

Analogic Corporation | Peabody, MA

Assisted with the development of a Windows desktop application that controlled and interfaced with Computed Tomography (CT) scan systems using Qt/C++ for the backend and QML/Qt/C++ for the front end.
