Skilled in debugging, system testing, firmware optimisation, and cross-functional collaboration with hardware and clinical teams.I bring deep expertise in medical device software, a passion for problem-solving, and a track record of delivering safe, reliable, and production-ready embedded systems

Experience

1. Embedded Software Engineer

   Henry Ford Health

   Jan 2024 — Present · Detroit, MI, US

   As an Embedded Software Engineer working on advanced medical imaging systems, I designed and developed high-performance firmware and software in C/C++ for CT, MRI, and ultrasound devices used across Henry Ford Health radiology facilities. My work focused on improving image acquisition reliability, system responsiveness, and real-time processing accuracy in clinical environments.I built and optimised embedded applications using C++11, VxWorks RTOS, Linux, Qt, and MSVC, while ensuring full compliance with medical device standards, including ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, IEC 62366, and IEC 60601. I also integrated DICOM protocols directly into embedded systems, enabling seamless communication with hospital PACS and EMR systems.My responsibilities included developing device drivers for sensor arrays and data acquisition hardware, performing DICOM/HL7 conformance testing, and collaborating with hardware engineers and clinicians to refine device calibration, synchronisation, and safety controls. I optimised core image-processing and reconstruction algorithms using modern C++ techniques and contributed to securing data transmission pipelines for remote patient monitoring.I also led debugging, performance tuning, and embedded cybersecurity assessments, identifying vulnerabilities and strengthening product safety. Through strong testing practices—unit, integration, and system-level—I helped reduce software defects by 30% and improve device reliability in production.
