Experience

Software Engineer

Cognex Corporation

Dec. 2023 - Present • Boston, MA

  • • Architected C++ firmware APIs to support interactive model labeling, inference, and visualization, designing thread-safe data paths with RAII, strong typing, and explicit ownership to ensure memory safety and correct cross-layer behavior
  • • Designed and implemented a system health monitoring and diagnostic tool to capture, persist, and plot runtime signals (image buffer utilization, available memory, device temperature) alongside severity-filtered, searchable logs
  • • Reduced CI/CD failures by 80% through automated hardware-in-the-loop testing, remote on-device debugging, and refactoring tests to support mute-test-in-code workflows
  • • Resolved customer escalations by debugging across GUI and firmware to deliver root-cause fixes and targeted unit tests to prevent future regressions
