Research Software Engineer

Utah State University•  May 2019 - August 2019

- Refactored the code base for de-duplication of code, readability and documented code. - Used multi-threading to boost the batch performance 1.25 times and single image performance 1.4 times for an IO heavy task. - Implemented an efficient white-paneling algorithm to remove vignetting effects in images minimizing floating point loss in image conversions. - Tech stack : SQL, OpenCV, C++, Ubuntu, Sanitisers, Valgrind, Python, Docker

Software Engineer, Co-founder
