• Reverse-engineered proprietary Bluetooth printer protocols to automate label generation, bypassing legacy software bottlenecks and increasing throughput for ATLAS packages • Developed a Python-based resource allocation tool to optimize cart staging, adopted by management to reduce floor congestion • Recognized by Operations Management for applying engineering principles to logistics workflows; selected to present optimization strategies to the Station Manager

• Developing performance-critical numerical kernels used in production research pipelines for elliptic PDEs under Prof. Dr. Mario Bebendorf • Developing highly optimized C/CUDA kernels for the AHMED library for cache-aware memory layout • Debugging memory leaks and race conditions in multi-threaded environments using Valgrind and GDB

• Architected high-performance SAR imaging pipelines on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 (Embedded GPU). Wrote custom CUDA and OpenMP kernels for FFT/IFFT, replacing standard library calls to achieve a 5x speedup. • Wrote C++ drivers for high-speed raw data ingestion from Radar hardware, utilizing DMA (Direct Memory Access) to minimize CPU load. • Implemented a reliable hardware handshake between Jetson TX2 and custom SoCs for seamless real-time radar data ingestion.
