• Technical support for NI products; • Technical projects using NI technology; • Customer Education.

Actively involved in all stages of automation projects, from tendering, elicitation and architecture design, to development and support; Configuration and development on PC, HMIs, databases, PACs, PLCs, communications gateways; Focused on developing LabVIEW software and SQL databases for report generation; Certified LabVIEW Developer working with LabVIEW, knowledgeable in LabVIEW Real Time, FPGA, OOP and software engineering.

Taught Transducers and Measurement Systems laboratories, where students learn about data acquisition and NI LabVIEW in hands-on classes for one semester.

As a LabVIEW Student Ambassador I taught LabVIEW to over 300 of my peer students. I was directly responsible with both delivering the technical content of the LabVIEW workshops and with organizing and advertising the workshops in Politehnica University of Bucharest.

The internship consisted in one month of training and two months of working side-by-side full time application engineers. The tasks application engineers and interns work on differ from simple measurements with NI LabVIEW, hardware programming of FPGAs, high-speed control, to radio frequency communication and testing. In most cases, the work is customer support, but many times it is getting close to design. The activity took place in an English-speaking international environment.

Automatic Control and Computers Faculty, department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering. Real Time Systems specialization: Microcontrollers, SCADA Systems, Communication Systems and Continous-Discrete Hybrid Systems.
