- 1. ANNIKA TERVAMAA née Mattila +358 50 486 7726 annika.tervamaa@gmail.com http://fi.linkedin.com/in/annikatervamaa I am a M.Sc. (Tech.) graduate who has a versatile work experience in information technology. Low-level programming in embedded systems is my core competence. My next goal is to develop proficiency on new technology areas. EMPLOYMENT HISTORY System Engineer (Microsoft) April 2014 – October 2014 System Engineer (Nokia) October 2013 – April 2014 Senior Engineer April 2010 – September 2013 Design Engineer, SW October 2007 – March 2010 Thesis Worker December 2006 – October 2007 Microsoft and Nokia Oulu, Finland 2013 - 2014 Nokia X kernel & system: - I configured, verified, debugged and fixed SW features such as watchdog, subsystem restart and memory allocations and management. - I also wrote scripts for build dependent configurations, debugged kernel drivers and ported modules to new products. - I participated in memory optimization. - My responsibilities included also code reviews for kernel and memory management areas, kernel maintenance, helping with system debugging (e.g. boot loader, RAM dump generation, graphics, display and audio) and helping with general issues such as GIT usage, phone flashing and dead phone recovery. Key words: AOSP, kernel, C programming, GIT, Gerrit, Lauterbach/Trace32, trace logs, RAM dumps, Nokia specific tools, chipset vendor specific tools, Android specific tools (e.g. adb, fastboot), Nokia X platform. 2007 - 2013 S40 & Asha OS services: - I was responsible of developing SW for dynamic loader and linker and virtual memory manager as well as their SW component level testing and debugging. - Memory protection, exception handling and on-demand paging were also part of virtual memory manager in addition to memory allocation. - In addition to own SW components, I helped debugging POSIX related issues at middleware SW. - Maintaining SW components and tests was also part of my job. - I participated in integrating a memory allocation debug tool that was used to debug complex system issues. - I made a demo for new usage of virtual memory manager, which enabled creating a cheaper phone with less memory, same features and smoother user experience. - I was also responsible of some boot and startup related HW configuration issues as well as chipset API. Key words: memory management, dynamic loading, POSIX, ARM & Cortex-A processors, C programming, Assembly, Python, GIT, Gerrit, Lauterbach/Trace32, trace logs, Nokia specific tools, ARM & GNU compilers, Nokia S40 & Asha platforms, Scrum, Agile. 2006 - 2007 Modem ASIC: - Master's thesis concerning register transfer level verification methods of a digital logic module. - The methods studied consisted of simulation, assertion based verification, test structures-based verification and structural testing.
- 2. - The object for the study was to find enhancements to verification methods in place. The conclusion of the work was that verification could be enhanced by using assertion-based verification methods in addition to simulation. Also used design flow needed changes. - My work involved studying and using commercial digital logic design verification tools and methods. Key words: ASIC, VHDL, assertion-based verification, verification, PSL. Research Assistant June 2004 – December 2006 University of Oulu (Centre for Underground Physics in Pyhäsalmi) Oulu & Pyhäsalmi, Finland - I designed, built, installed, tested and maintained movable underground measuring system that was used in cosmic ray research. - My work span over the whole practical research: making the measurement system, executing the underground the measurements, writing software for analyzing the results, creating electronics for DAQ triggering and environmental measurements, analyzing and documenting the results. - I attended to physics seminars, gave presentations and wrote reviews about the research. - Some of the duties were performed underground in mining environment. Publications: - EMMA – a new underground cosmic-ray experiment, Nuclear Physics B (Proc. Suppl.) 175–176 (2008) - Underground cosmic-ray experiment EMMA, Nucl. Phys. B165 (2007) - EMMA: A new underground cosmic-ray experiment, JPhCS 39 (2006) - Measurements of muon flux in the Pyhasalmi underground laboratory, Nucl. Instrum. Meth. A 554 (2005) Key words: measuring systems, cosmic rays, scintillation counter, photomultiplier, electronics, C programming, CPLD. Trainee / Thesis Worker March 2001 – September 2001 CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) Geneva, Switzerland - The objective of my bachelor’s thesis was to clarify the characteristics (efficiency, pulse height and timing) of scintillation counters for constructing a large-area cosmic ray air shower array. - My tasks included mounting, testing and calibrating cosmic ray detectors. - Working with detectors required using oscilloscope and doing some signal processing for measurement triggering system. Key words: cosmic rays, scintillation counter, photomultiplier, timing. Short time jobs June 1997 – May 2006 Various employers Oulu, Sodankylä & Kemijärvi, Finland - Oulun Musiikkikoulu (music school): 2002-2006, piano and accordion teacher, giving private lessons to both children and adults. - Sodankylä Geophysics Observatory: 2000, trainee, mounting and setting up meteor radar antennas as well as other tasks at instrument laboratory. - Salcomp: 1997-2000, electronics worker, visual inspection of printed circuit boards as well as other tasks at assembly line in self-directing team. EDUCATION Master of Science (Technology), Information Engineering 2002 – 2008 University of Oulu Oulu, Finland Major: Information Engineering Minor: Signal Processing and Engineering Mathematics Master’s thesis: "Verification of a Digital Logic Module Top-Level Integration" Some courses related to biomedical engineering, measuring technology as well as astro, space and particle physics.
