Built desktop application that was integral in many aspects of development of the Soundhawk Smart Listening system. Written in Java, the application communicates with earpiece using Bluetooth serial port profile. The software is used by engineering to validate Bluetooth communication, run scripts, analyze mobile application logs, and exercise all behaviors of the firmware. Audiologists use the application to tune DSP and create 'sound scenes' for the mobile applications using the various mobile application simulators.
Wrote firmware to program the digital signal processor using parameters extracted from commands arriving over Bluetooth SPP. Written in C using i2c.
Implemented various firmware features: collecting usage statistics, sending debug logging over Bluetooth, simulate button presses, modify sniff modes, etc.
Created system to collect product usage information from variety of sources (Flurry, distributor system, and internal databases) and create reports. Written in Python using Flask and Mongodb.
