Software Engineer • September, 2018 — Present

My role as software engineer is to assist in designing and developing software for EV charging station.

• Lead a team to design and build software that provides cloud-based real-time communication between an electric vehicle and a DC charging station
• Lead a team to build an application using Python for integrating a contactless payment terminal to an electric car charging station.
• Eliminated 95% manual configuration of all manufactured device configuration, installation, and deployment through scripting and automation engine while ensuring the continuation and enhancements of services.
• Slashed weeks of manual work by automating the manual log extraction and transformation.

Unified Chargers Oy

Trainee • Jan, 2018 — August, 2018

Research and development in the field of compact and intelligent DC fast chargers for electric cars as part of thesis project as well as including all other company duties.

As a thesis worker, my primary tasks were to study the standards associated with electric car charging equipment, communication protocol between electric car and charging station, and communication protocol between charging station and the cloud based IoT platform.

Following the research on standards, I studied ENISA’s (European Union Agency for Network and Information security) report titled ‘Baseline Security Recommendations for Internet of Things in the context of critical information’ which serves as a reference point in the field and as a foundation for relevant forthcoming initiatives and development.Besides, I wrote comprehensive functional specification, design requirements and the logical sequence diagram representing working mechanism of IoT driven DC fast charging station, which were the main objectives during the trainee period.

Innovation Project

Primary Developer • October, 2015 — April, 2016

Designed and developed a learning platform prototype, a visual and interactive way to learn the basics of electric signals and waves without being in labs at the university, that resulted more than 400 students using the learning platform. The platform offers realistic scenarios which are simulated by the controller and software application, facilitates student to experiment how signals and waves behave in a real scenario. It includes a control unit, an Arduino based physical box that simulates basic lab equipment such as switches, buttons, and potentiometer, connected with a computer or laptop that includes an application built on Python programming language. Students, then with application opened and a control unit connected with a computer, can start learning signals, waves, and perform assignments in an interactive way.

Startup Training and Competition Participation

Team Member • May,2016

Learned, researched and implemented, in a team of four undergraduate students from business and IT faculty, a lean startup business model to develop a product name Time Machine. The minimum viable product (MVP), a user-friendly application, provides an easy way to fill up the work records for employees at different companies. The project was part of the course called “Startup Challenge” that I attended during my undergraduate studies in Metropolia.
