Activity

Development of firmware for industrial automation computers. In detail:

Typical tasks:

• Development of MISRA-compatible firmware code according to the High-Level documentation
• Unit tests development
• Code review
• Providing help and support to teammates

Achievements

• Development features by design requirements (about 80 closed stories):
  • Sequence Manager - an entity for organizing complex technological processes into easily manageable sequences and subsequently, provide step-by-step implementations for each sequence.
  • Implementation of a new OSAL for a future device
  • Writing unit tests
• Fixing bugs (about 50 fixed and closed exceptions)
• Code Reviewing (more than 100 reviews as the main reviewer)

Besides software development, I have actively engaged in fostering a positive team culture and driving organizational improvements within the company. Some of the key initiatives I have undertaken include:

• Revamping the New Employee Onboarding Process: I played a main role in revitalizing the onboarding process for new employees, ensuring a smooth transition for developers worldwide.
• Creating a Learning-Supportive Environment: Collaborating with the team lead, I established an environment that promotes continuous learning within the team. This involved organizing regular team-wide learning sessions and allocating dedicated time for individual learning endeavors. I personally led five learning sessions to facilitate knowledge sharing and growth.
• Enhancing Team Communication and Collaboration: To foster effective communication and collaboration, I introduced a series of meetings for reviewing team rules, synchronizing efforts at the start of each sprint, and ensuring alignment midway through.
• Developing an Extensive Team Documentation Space: Recognizing the importance of easy access to information, I spearheaded the development of a comprehensive team documentation repository. This resource ensures that team members have quick and convenient access to critical information, enabling smoother project execution and knowledge sharing.
