  Pix4D

  Jan 2015 - May 2018

  Software Engineer

  I was involved in most of the phases related with the development of a desktop application. These were some of the most relevant contributions:- Architecture design: key decisions for modularization/scalability/quality.- Code Optimization/profiling. Important algorithm improvements for certain OS(s).- CUDA code (Feature Extraction / Descriptors computation / Feature Matching).- Promulgate testing and CI/CD methodologies (unit/integration/performance tests).- Setup the CI infrastructure with automatic tools (salt).- Continuous improvements in the configuration / packaging code (CMake/CPack).- Addition of new tools for the CI (static analysis, memory analyzers, conan, caching tools, etc.).- Usage of container technologies for CI nodes and services (LXC & Docker).- Migration of the entire project to Visual Studio 2017.- Replacement of bash scripts for python ones (to better support all platforms).- Continuous refactors of important parts of code (kill & renew the legacy code).

  Roche

  Jan 2020 - May 2022

  Senior Computer Vision Engineer

  Member of a team which provides services and expertise around the Barcode, RFID and Machine Vision technologies. One of my main responsibilities in the team is to maintain the Machine Vision systems which are integrated into different diagnostic instruments. The other one is to develop low level software solutions interfacing with different Barcode and RFID readers. Some of my main contributions up to now are:- Simplification of the mechanical calibration procedure for a Machine Vision camera.- Implementation of reliability tests with a robotic arm to verify that the MachineVision systems are meeting all the requirements- Performance improvements in the Machine Vision solution that were essential for agood user experience- Took over all the C++ software development tasks in the team and renewed all theexisting codebases- New releases in the RFID libraries used across the organisation with several fixes & improvements. The usage of fuzzing techniques was key to find some of the detected bugs Show less
