Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Koenig is a systems engineer with nine years of multidisciplinary experience bridging embedded systems, data analysis, and regulated medical device validation. Based in Saint Paul, he currently drives system design validation and automated data workflows at Medtronic’s Renal Care division, combining Matlab simulation, VBA automation, and formal test documentation under Agile/CAP processes. He has a strong experimental and analytical background from graduate research in chemical engineering and hands-on R&D roles that produced publishable results and prototype hardware and PLC/HMI systems. On GitHub he contributes backend code to the high-profile ALICE experiment at CERN, implementing calibration and fitting routines for the EMCAL detector—an indication of comfort with scientific software, templating, and numerical debugging. Colleagues know him for turning complex verification requirements into reproducible test methods and for automating repetitive analysis to speed decision-making.

O2 software project for the ALICE experiment at CERN
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:43 reviews, 31 commits, 70 PRs in 1 year 5 months
Contributions summary:Joshua primarily worked on the EMCAL (Electromagnetic Calorimeter) software project for the ALICE experiment at CERN. Their contributions focused on implementing and templating the `EMCALChannelCalibrator` and associated data structures to handle bad channel and time calibrations. This involved adding new files for data management and time calibration tasks, along with fixing merge conflicts and correcting code formatting using clang-format. They also debugged and fixed Gaussian fit functions for boost histograms, transforming the Gaussian into a pol2 for fitting purposes.
