Role Breakdown

Backend Developer
Developed a GIS microservice based on the OSM stack. Containerized an entire geoserver stack (geoserver, tile server, static image server, DB) so that we could rely on our own stack. Developed a notification microservice using golang and Mongodb(with Percona memory engine).

ERTMS / ETCS DMI Development
Split the DMI into two subsystems. Designed and implemented the software for the component on the "kernel" side. Wrote a tool that made the requirements’ traceability files by gathering special comments from the C source files. Wrote a tool that determines all the sub-fields of aggregate types used in the function and the functions it calls(required for testing).

Embedded Safety-Critical Development
Wrote the SRS and the SDD for the DSP algorithm, then implemented the DSP algorithm for a safety-critical hard real-time embedded system.

Code Generation

Wrote A tool that generates binary file (WASM, ...) parsers in C.
Wrote another tool that generates the C code necessary to add a C structure to Lua as a Lua table.

Automation and Tooling

Developed a Misra-C:2004 rule checker(open-source project) using Clang’s Libtooling.
Developed a source code obfuscation tool(open-source project) using Clang’s Libtooling.
Developed an interactive CLI tool aimed at object code manipulation(open-source project) in C++/C with Lua as it’s scripting language. The tool also has Python embedded in it for rapid prototyping.
Automated the traceability matrix generation using libclang’s Python bindings.
Automated the regression testing for a project I was involved in.
Automated the calculation of the WCET for all implemented functions through the use of of a Python script and an XML description file.

Automatic Refactoring
Wrote an automatic refactoring tool using Clang’s Libtooling for C.

Defensive Programming / Safety-Aware Software Design
Studied/Implemented defensive programming practices, coding style and guidelines. Explored the use of FMEA and FTA for the software domain.

AUTOSAR
Studied AUTOSAR SWC and RTE.

ISO 26262
Studied the software section of the standard. I was also the software group’s representative for the study/review meetings held with the hardware and system teams on ISO 26262.
