Software Development Manager

UTC Aerospace Systems

May, 2013 - February, 2015

During the summers of my freshman and sophomore years at UConn I worked at United Technologies Aerospace Systems where I worked on the F-15 weapons control system called the PACS (Programmable Armament Control Set). This system is an embedded system that has been developed by United Technologies for many contries for decades. I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to work with a very experienced team of embedded software engineers and testers to work on the newest version of this system for a few different countries.

My responsibilities at UTC included:

  • Extensively testing the PACS unit for software and hardware bugs through autorig simulations and test log analysis.
  • Writing macros, automated CTLS scripts and Perl scripts for testing of the PACS unit and presenting results at weekly meetings.
  • Discussing various requirements and code issues with the project manager and test lead.

Continuing my passion for building high performing and independent engineering teams responsible for delviering highly available, low latency, and maintainable distributed software systems for customers.
