Experience 2/05–Present Gaming Laboratories International Lakewood, NJ
Test Engineer
- Tested and analyzed hardware and software of gaming devices to comply with State, Federal and Tribal Gaming Regulatory Standards.
- Verified software modifications in manufacturer source code (C/C++).
- Created ISO test work instruction documents.
- Used proprietary simulator tools to communicate with gaming devices.

2/04–8/04 Indiana Institute of Technology Fort Wayne, IN
Firmware Engineer (voluntary)
- Programmed Microchip PIC microcontrollers which handled various telemetry functions for the avionics payload portion of a large-scale amateur rocket.
- Coded firmware on two PIC16F767 microcontrollers to input acceleration, spin, and barometric sensor values through the ADCs.
- Wrote code to store sensor data into two on-board 32Mbit Atmel FLASH memory modules by the use of the SPI communications protocol.
- Coded firmware to send sensor data redundantly to a DAC modem via the RS-232 protocol.
- Wrote firmware that displayed mission clock and real-time launch altitude information to a downlinked video overlay stream. This was accomplished by interfacing with a BOB III overlay card via RS-232. The BOB III output video was then sent via UHF so that any television can tune into the live rocket launch, and view the altitude.
- Coded firmware to start the mission clock and memory-write modules upon detection of the rocket’s launch. The launch was detected within a quarter of a second by monitoring the readings of the z-axis acceleration sensor.
- All functions operated in real-time using interrupt handling. This was accomplished via the use of the timer features inside the PIC microcontrollers. These timers allowed flags to be set in code that would trigger function calls at exact time intervals.
