Pivotal Commware®Sr. Software Engineer
Jan. 2022 - Jun. 2023San Diego, California, United StatesA manufacturer of 5G mm Wave repeaters, Pivotal was in the initial stages of developing Wavescape, a network planning tool that uses high-resolution aerial photographs with known locations of 5G cell towers, light and electrical posts, and candidate locations for their Pivot repeaters.
• Tasked with enhancing the functionality of Wavescape Core, a Python code base that performs complex network analysis using libraries such as NumPy, Geopandas, and SciKit Learn
• Quickly learned new concepts and acquired skills needed to deliver requested features.
• Delivered features that allowed field engineers to generate additional visualization layers of key
performance predictions in QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System)
• Field engineers were able to deliver reports with the level of detail necessary to efficiently
implement Turnkey, Pivotal’s initiative for enabling fixed wireless access for customers such as
Verizon.
• Tasked with the development of features for Wavescape Portal, a React-based web application
that implements Leaflet and Ant Design components over high-resolution aerial photographs.
• Developed UI features that allowed field engineers to input different configurations of key data
such as line of sight, signal attenuation, and vegetation interference, among others.
• Added features to a Flask-based API and Postgres database, namely the creation of new
configuration models for Wavescape Core
• Used Azure blob storage to store all network planning iterations, e.g., Parquet files and QGIS
layers, as generated by 96-core servers.
• Results reflected in increased revenues for Pivotal through its Turnkey initiative.
