ABOUT ME

Full-Time Software Engineer (teach C/C++)

Outside of Codementor, I am a full-time Software Engineer developing Wi-Fi software. Previously, I had many internships involving embedded systems, full-stack development, iOS/Android development, and even web development. My main specialty however is C/C++ programming and embedded systems. I studied Mechatronics Engineering (with an option in AI) at the University of Waterloo. This experience enriched my programming skills as I learned foundational computer engineering concepts and the electrical/mechanical aspects that interact with the programs developed by software engineers. It brings me joy to share my knowledge, skills, and experiences with others who share the same passion to positively impact their growth.

Brittney is incredibly insightful and responsive. She gives some of the most thorough and in depth explanations I have ever received on codementor. I highly recommend reaching out to her for any C++ related issues and code reviews

Love her. Taught me concepts and helped me with even little things I wasn't understanding. Truly went above and beyond and way better than I ever could have expected. Super patient, understanding, and caring. Thank you <3

Super grateful Brittney was able to help. I'm a CS student learning system calls in C and how threads work. She explained everything extremely well and was super patient with me. I came out with a better understanding of processes, using threads and mutex's.

• Created an internal tool for engineers to analyze the Wi-Fi state of their devices, both in real-time and using data from the past. The tool has macOS and iOS versions that parse Wi-Fi logs to extract key data, interface with APIs to collect Wi-Fi data, and use Swift/SwiftUI to visualize the data in a user-friendly fashion.

• Worked together with a team to add support for applying colour compensation on many types of Android devices that have aged OLED displays. Changes made to the Android platform were done in C++ and Java. • Extended IGNIS’s bare metal application to read a BMP file from flash memory, process the data, and copy the data to a frame buffer to be displayed. • Created a display measurements scheduler in C that parses an XML file containing a set of OLED/TFT measurements, runs the requested measurements, and generates files with measurement results.

Prototyped a donut-dipping robot with a small team that took orders via an iPad and dipped donuts as requested using a robotic arm. A Raspberry Pi was used as the main controller and two Arduinos were used to drive the actuators and read sensor data. Communication protocols used were UART and MQTT.
