•	Core UEFI developer working on system level firmware and firmware-to-OS interactions for all first party Microsoft devices

•	Lead developer in charge of enabling firmware level boot-time DMA protection across all Microsoft Surface devices

•	Prevented many common device ‘bricking’ scenarios by implementing dependency checking in the UEFI update process to ensure that all drivers and system level firmware are at an appropriate level to take the update

•	Updated the UEFI build system by writing new python scripts that would run compile-time tests and code checks allowing us to ensure high-quality code before formally committing to our code repository, saved compile time by implementing gated builds to only build portions of the binary that changed, and automatically upload the symbol files to a server so that we would always have the symbols needed to debug any build

•	Built a test system in robot framework and Python to run both nightly and weekly tests allowing us to quickly catch firmware regressions and new errors committed to the codebase

•	Owned system level stress testing for the Xbox One and all accessories overseeing the validation of the system functionality, stability, and performance

•	Directly lead a team of vendors to develop new test fixtures, test tools, and test automation to reduce our testing costs and allow us to fully automate testing of new devices and features 

•	Developed test board schematics to automate stress testing – including emulating HDMI hot plugs, Ethernet hot plugs, reading/writing digital signals and wires, emulating headphones, and firing solenoids to test mechanical buttons 

•	Developed Python and LUA scripts for test automation – including creating audio loop-back scripts to test audio performance, wireless/bluetooth controller tests to test controller functionality and wireless performance, optical disc drive and hard drive tests for read and write performance, and PCIe bus and GPU stress tests 

•	Maintained the C++ code for the Arduinos used to automate the testing and data gathering 

•	Created and maintained the tools needed to run a network of computers used to automate testing over a hundred consoles simultaneously and report all the results back up to the cloud for analysis 

•	Use statistical analysis and design of experiments to identify important factors, interactions, process capabilities, reduce testing time/cost, and reach accurate conclusions with confidence 

•	Guided Xbox on how to properly test eMMC performance and reliability and developed the testing methodologies used in Xbox automated eMMC testing 

•	Leveraged telemetry to identify what user scenarios were most common and used that to drive the automated testing development towards the testing that would provide the largest impact
