Profile: https://flows.cv/ishwaryaiyengarthirunarayanan

I am a Software Engineer with extensive experience developing algorithms for medical devices. C++ is my first language, but I can also code in C#, CUDA and Python. I am comfortable working within the framework of regulations for software as a medical device and am familiar with standards such as DICOM. My strength lies in converting algorithm prototypes to product code and quickly gaining subject matter expertise to implement new ideas, create new prototypes etc. I enjoy debugging issues. I also have experience leading small teams and managing projects.
