Message

At Whitebeard Soft, I founded and lead a software engineering consultancy delivering tailored solutions across industries and technology domains. I’ve authored project proposals that translate business requirements into delivery plans and solution architectures, and built a network of more than 20 engineers.

At HTEC, I led a team of five engineers and designed and developed a LIDAR processing and visualization platform for aviation safety machine-learning workflows. I also independently designed and implemented an internal build automation tool to standardize development workflows.

At DMV, I modernized a legacy embedded platform by migrating critical functionality from a C51 and assembly-based architecture to ARM Cortex-M4. I documented the legacy system in an engineering guide spanning over 100 pages.

Across my work in automotive, telecommunications, manufacturing, and enterprise software, I’ve developed embedded, backend, and application software, integrated hardware and software components, and supported engineering teams. I work across the software lifecycle, from requirements and design through testing, deployment, maintenance, and migration.
