Experience
#

Software Engineer IV | Kasalis
#

February 2025 – January 2026

  • Led software development on a cross-functional team to deliver a dual-purpose LCoS and LED alignment machine on schedule.
  • Collaborated with process engineers to define requirements for future machine configuration. Restructured config file architecture to support multi-machine deployment and created a Python module to validate the config file contents.
  • Defined design specifications and reviewed code for junior engineers, emphasizing readability and maintainability.
  • Refactored the hardware control node and TwinCAT function blocks to use logical clocks, eliminating race conditions in hardware control messaging.

Software Engineer III | Kasalis
#

November 2022 – February 2025

  • Led software development of an LCoS alignment machine achieving a 50% cycle time reduction and successfully passing the site acceptance test.
  • Refactored the legacy codebase for multi-station functionality and future extensibility. Standardized the codebase by implementing pytest unit tests, docstrings, and automated Sphinx documentation.
  • Engineered C++ DLLs, Python modules, and cffi wrappers to interface with hardware. Implemented drivers for IDS Peak cameras, a Vötsch temperature chamber, and a programmable power supply using the NI-VISA protocol.
  • Developed a predictive screening algorithm to estimate lens convergence from a single scan. Deployed this algorithm across seven new machines in production.
  • Supported legacy production machines by collaborating remotely with factory technicians to debug issues and deploy updates.

Software Engineer | RightHand Robotics
#

October 2021 – October 2022

  • Optimized robot pathing behavior to eliminate 90% of post-pick gripper-workspace collisions, increasing pick reliability.
  • Created custom Python and Bash tooling for robot performance analysis and debugging.
  • Solved difficult bugs involving arm-trajectory smoothing, collisions, and race conditions by performing hands-on diagnostics on the robots.

R&D Engineer | Formulatrix
#

August 2017 – August 2020

  • Engineered a robotic “poking” tool to automate a manual production step, increasing the rate by 500%. Controlled the system via a C# Windows Forms application and used OpenCV for target detection.
  • Developed a Python script utilizing OpenCV to calculate PCR concentration results by analyzing fluorescent sample grids, deployed on a Raspberry Pi.
  • Implemented a QC scoring tool combining OpenCV for feature extraction and Scikit-learn. Built an image labeling program using C# with Windows Forms to generate training data.
  • Provided Tier-2 onsite engineering support for the Constellation dPCR system, resolving complex hardware/software issues through debugging, soldering, and software support ticketing to maintain high customer satisfaction.
  • Prototyped a high-speed plate transfer tool to resolve a process bottleneck. Designed components using SolidWorks, fabricated parts via CNC milling, and controlled motion with pneumatics and an Arduino, achieving a rapid 10-minute amplification time.
