Michael Brunson

Worked on various frameworks and web applications throughout the years. Built several dynamic web applications using Angular, React, and Polymer. Various projects used a variety of backends including ASP.NET, Node.js, and Java-based web servers. As a software engineer on Chrome, I builtthe chrome://bluetooth-internals in native HTML, JS, and CSS with minimal third-party library support. I utilized IPC message pipes to communicate with a C++-based backend to pull Bluetooth information that Chrome knows about to display to a user. The page is mainly used by developers to experiment with Bluetooth devices they may use if they wish to utilize Web Bluetooth in their web applications. As an engineer on Android Things, I contributed to the Android Things Console which allows developers to create and manage device builds for Internet of Things devices. Most of my work involved adding new device types to the console and ensuring that disk partitioning and space was kept consistent in the UI.

Used C++ extensively when working on Chrome and doing systems programming in Android at Google. On Chrome, the entire backend for chrome://bluetooth-internals is based in C++. The backend is required to query information from Chrome's Bluetooth stack, connect to Bluetooth devices, and get/set data on those devices dynamically. Most C++ applications I've written on Android have worked closely with storage devices and in-field updates. I wrote a basic boot control HAL for swapping boot partitions in the field for developer devices.

Worked on various Python applications at Google. Used Python to write the majority of the build infrastructure for internal and public Android Things-based projects including communicating with build services, collecting and organizing build artifacts, and publishing builds for developers and production devices.

Mainly used Java for Android application development. As a member of the Android team within Google, I gained extensive knowledge of the Android in general and how applications interact with the framework. In addition, used Java for server-side development on the Android Things Console. Most of my work involved database manipulation and adding new device types to the console so users could generate new builds.
