I graduated with a BSEE from LSU in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a Computer Science minor. I am a Canadian citizen and US Permanent Resident.
Feb 2014-Dec 2017 | Microsoft Corporation | Redmond, WA |
Software Engineer working on the Remote Desktop team. Worked on network transport layer, and was part of a small team developing an HTML5 Remote Desktop Web Client. |
|
May 2013-Aug 2013 | Microsoft Corporation | Redmond, WA |
SDET Intern working on the RDV (Remote Desktop Virtualization) team. Gathered data from several network status change event sources for various network disruption scenarios to determine how Remote Desktop Client (RDC) currently handles auto-reconnect on these scenarios. Created an automated test setup with hardware and software to automatically gather and parse this performance data. |

May 2011-May 2013, Aug 2013-Dec 2013 | Louisiana State University | Baton Rouge, LA |
Student Worker for a project funded under the VIRAT (Video Image Retrieval and Analysis Tool) program of DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) for detecting activities in streaming video. Worked on algorithms for detecting the activities with regular expressions in MATLAB and the design of a C++ object tracker. |
|
2004-2008 | Auton Engineering, Ltd. | Sundre, AB, Canada |
Created PIC microcontroller C code for communication units for cement truck monitoring. Connects to the internet with a CDMA or GSM cell modem, via a functional UDP/IP stack created and optimized for this controller, with secure password authentication. Live GPS and truck data are sent to a base-station over the internet link, and shown on a MapPoint map. Includes request features, data logging, unit setup options, and advanced networking features. |
Dec. 2013 | Received the University Medal for graduating with the highest GPA at LSU, and the Edward McLaughlin Dean's Medal for graduating with the highest GPA in Engineering |
Nov. 2011 | Received Computing Research Association’s Undergraduate Research Award (Honorable Mention) for work done on the VIRAT project |
Oct. 2011 | Received LSU Sophomore Honors Distinction resulting from high honors grades |
