About Denise Mendez

Transforming Innovator: streamlining solutions for intricate engineering challenges. Highly experienced at leading strategy while working in diverse cross functional teams, tactically designing, defining, advocating, and implementing software, hardware, and cloud integrations in complex start-up human environments. Passionate community leader strategizing within the education vertical to improve diverse student outcomes in STEAM. As a Principal Software Developer at Microsoft in the Mixed Reality team, I am building the best in class data observability solutions across the fabric of the product life cycle, from the hardware to the user experience. At Magicleap I built end 2 end telemetry business intelligence systems, worked as a solutions architect for Spatial Computing in the education sector. At Motorola I was at the cutting edge of mobile technology and connectivity, designing and defining test systems architecture. I spent extensive time travelling to build Global Supply Chain engineering systems. I\'ve learned enough mandarin and portuguese to help me understand and work through cultural differences and boundaries. I have taken calculated risks and was rewarded with an internship at Kennedy Space Center where I worked on the International Space Station, a Mission to Mars prototype, witnessed 3 shuttle launches, and signed off on one! Technical Skills:Tactical Collaboration, Data Observability, Spatial Computing, Grafana, Unity, C#, Python, Six Sigma, Assembly, Labview, GIT, Gerrit, Jira, Azure DevopsMobile Device, sensor peripherals Camera Modules, Bluetooth, measurement systems, 3D printing, micro controllersI am a naturally inquisitive, curious, and revel in learning and discovery of people and products, and savor solving complex problems. I am excellent at working hands on with hardware, software, writing applications in Unity, C#, C++, and C and scripting languages like bash and python. I am always looking for opportunities to automate boring redundant work so that I can have more time to develop, and play with the new unique, and different.
