Qualcomm (San Diego)

Modem Data Services Staff Software Engineer November 2019 – Present

Modem Data Services Senior Software Engineer June 2016 – November 2019

• – Developed NBIOT features including MO Exceptional Data, APN Rate Control, Serving PLMN Rate
  Control, and Power Saving Mode enhancements.
• – Developed features to be in compliance with 3GPP and IR92 specifications including prioritizing 3GPP
  data throttling algorithms over operator requirements and preferred data system determination
  enhancements.
• – Led the design on new 3GPP and IR92 defined features including PS Data Off Exempt Services, and UT
  configuration enhancements, collaborating with neighboring development, systems, and testing teams.
• – Provided debug support for external customers and internal testing teams for NBIOT features, data
  system determination algorithms, handovers, and throttling algorithms.
• – Built unit test suites to sanitize new features helping to identify issues early on and allow more seamless on target bring-up testing.
• – Collaborated with base station vendors on NBIOT features allowing vendors to be able to do on-target testing with a device while simultaneously allowing modem on-target testing with a commercial base station.
• – Mentored and trained teammates in San Diego, China, and India with new and existing features in the data services code base.

Modem MMCP Protocols Senior Systems Test Engineer Oct 2013 – Jun 2016

• – Created test plans, acted as the main point of contact, and worked with relevant developers and systems engineers on a protocol level to push key modem features to commercialization.
• – Contributed to a post-processing automation project by creating heuristic analyzers to quickly identify known issues.
• – Proposed, designed, developed, and released an innovative new keyword-based modem test framework to testing, development, and integration teams removing the requirement for users to have domain specific knowledge and minimizing the requirement for programming expertise for on-target testing while still upholding a standard of thoroughness for testing.
• – Successfully advocated for the adoption of the modem test framework across 30+ testing and development teams, improving percentage of tests that are automated from 51% to 93% by using the modem test framework, accomplishing 6+ years of test time per 30 days, and improving development team’s target bring-up processes.
• – Proposed, designed, and developed a base station simulator framework which works alongside the modem test framework to control various base station simulators seamlessly.
• – Planned out the test network’s IRAT thresholds and neighbor configurations, enabling the modem test framework to easily perform and validate IRAT scenarios on any test setup.
• – Mentored and trained teammates on framework development, design, and feature testing.
