2014 — 2015Dart NeuroscienceSoftware Engineer

2014 — 2015

Claremont, CA

Worked with a group of neuroscientists and a hardware team to design and implement a software/hardware testing suite for pharmaceutical research. We designed and implemented a context-free domain-specific language that would be readable by research scientists with no prior CS experience, as well as editable by those with a brief introduction to it. Additionally, we integrated with a hardware system that was custom built from scratch.
