Work Experience

System Software Engineer Internship @ MediaTek, Inc.
(Connectivity Technology Development, Software Engineering Div 2)
June 2017 - Aug 2017 @ HsinChu, Taiwan

• Refactored the architecture of Wi-Fi TestSuite-Linux-DUT user space program for MediaTek AP device to support dual-band, dual concurrent (dbdc) mode.

• Reduced the AP con guration time from 127 seconds to 10 seconds on test plan VHT 4.2.5 with this new design.

Ported the new concise daemon (273KB) to MediaTek platform, re ned its compile structure to make the user program compatible with MediaTek SDK framework.


Software Engineering co-op @ Rockwell Collins, Inc
(GS Department, Engine-indicating and crew-alerting system)
Jan 2015 - Aug 2015 @ Cedar Rapids, IA

• Improved company’s file comparison tool using python, PowerShell, and batch files, saving over 50% of execution time.

• Integrated xml-junit results to internal server using php and javascript for tracking development status.

• Integrated verification scripts with Atlassian Bamboo (continuous integration and delivery tool) to automate the release management for AW609 (twin-engined tiltrotor VTOL aircraft) Project.


Computer Science TA @ Iowa State University
CS 207 Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (Computer Programming Java)
Sept 2014 - Dec 2014 @ Ames, IA

• Lead 21 students in weekly recitation, monitored their learning progress, and shared coding techniques.

• Graded student’s homework, exams; clarified programming concepts in one-on-one appointments.


Projects

Course registration Application
Fall 2017 - Cloud Computing
