Hired for software and mathematics expertise, I tackled a new tech stack to deliver robust solutions. Integrated Windows APIs to warn customers of unsafe data storage, reducing support cases. Improved data integrity reporting and GUI responsiveness through optimized view-model logic. Increased model accuracy via graded merges of point objects. Introduced testing libraries to boost tester productivity, mentoring and reviewing their work, leading to fewer support cases despite more users.

Allied Telesis develops network OS for switches, routers, and wireless APs as well as management and automation tools for customers worldwide. As a software engineer I leveraged my CCNA qualification to deliver projects to diverse customers. I collaborated with management and automation teams to design feature APIs, improved customer security and experience, supported market growth into network automation and management software, enhanced the code review process, and expanded standards-based monitoring.
