System Software Engineer Intern

May 2016Aug 2016 · 3 mos · Santa Clara, California

  • In C, designed and implemented an interface to orchestrate various Producer-Consumer workflows in a RTOS. Producers and Consumers may be separate Tasks or hardware interrupt routines. Special care was taken to make the implementation as space efficient as possible to operate on custom NVIDIA microcontrollers.
