SUMMARY
I am a Masters student in Electrical Engineering with focus on signals processing, mainly
image, video, and audio processing as well as embedded systems programming. I am
looking for a full-time position in a signals processing, embedded systems, or application
development. I have had 5+ years experience programming apps for various mobile
device families running Android, as well as many Java applications in other student
projects. I am also experienced with C, C++, and MATLAB for signals analysis and
processing.
