TECHNICAL SKILLS

Systems Programming & Computer Organization (Assembly, MIPS)

- Formed an understanding of systems level programming, allowing for (when compared to the majority of other HLLs) more efficient program execution, smaller memory footprints, and direct access to certain hardware

- Understanding of PC architecture including registers and their basic usage, memory efficiency, data representation (ASCII, IEEE 32/64-bit format, etc.), procedure handling, and stack usage

- Familiarity with operating system interactions, file input/output buffering, language instruction sets, addressing modes, pipelining, and virtual memory

 

Data Structures & Algorithms (C++)

- Implemented various sorting techniques (quick sort, heap sort, etc.), advanced data structures (binary search trees, graphs, heaps, etc.), and investigated big O notation and programming efficiency
