March 2023 - September 2024

Onboarded to utilize prior C++, QT and unmanned systems experience to perform bug fixes and new feature additions slated for the next major release of an unmanned mine-countermeasures surface vessel.
Additional responsibilities include triage issues reported by the customer and test teams, performing code reviews, writing well documented and up-to-date JIRA tickets and Confluence Wiki pages, and mentoring junior team members.
Provided customers the ability to perform operation with multiple ground stations and unmanned surface vessels over the same data-link. Performed by augmenting a C++ AS5710 JAUS library and applying QT UI updates to ground station
Provided customers the ability to track and display radar contacts in realtime. Implemented the full C++/QT stack of this feature from a vehicle-side interface to the radar API to icons rendered on the sea-chart
