Experience
- Led the full-stack development of PHYVision, a production-ready GUI for configuring and validating LPDDR PHY IPs via hardware-in-the-loop testing
- Overhauled PHYVision by refactoring 80% of its frontend/backend, migrating from Django REST API to a custom TCP server, and containerizing with Docker for better performance, maintainability, and cross-platform support.
- Developed a Python-based web scraper aggregating 1,000+ LPDDR/DDR specs from 4-5 major competitors to support benchmarking and product strategy.
- Tools: Python, Django, REST API, CSS, PyQt, Raspberry Pi, Docker, TCP/IP
- Collaborated on a Samsung-sponsored research project analyzing the company's complex CI build system, focusing on the structure and syntax of Makefiles and Batch scripts.
- Researched and documented command patterns and control flow constructs to support the development of a static analysis tool for build configuration tracing.
- Tools: OCaml, Python, C
