Software engineering. Initially emphasis on OS and device drivers, then hardware emulation, then imaging and printer drivers, then more than a decade of maintaining a library of mass-storage-related middleware. Now retired but writing watchOS and iOS apps and looking for opportunities in research.Keywords: Apple, diskutil, DiskManagement.framework, diskmanagementd, macOS, Apple II GS/OS, Mass Storage, CoreOS, Swift, Apple Widgets, CSS, SwiftUI, Objective-C, POSIX, Open Firmware, Adobe, PostScript, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, APFS, CoreStorage, macOS Classic Environment, macOS Apple IIe Environment, ...Comfortable with hardware (read schematics use test equipment, done device drivers and firmware, used basic embedded systems, can do basic circuit design).Obsessive, immaculately designed clean code when I'm writing new stuff, or creative crazy debugging (including reverse-engineering emulated apps without source code) otherwise. Know when to optimize (optimize for what? speed vs. memory vs. safety vs. logging vs. pedagogy vs. implementation time vs. mutability vs. ...) and when not to.A lot of emulation (of OSs, hardware, printers) in my past.Interested in software applications in medicine, safety of systems, and aviation.Semi-pro history in television production, aviation, electronics including PCB design, and scuba.Currently writing an Apple WatchOS app in Swift and reading related research papers in medicine and RF propagation.Some links to some of my personal projects:Documentary about Sunnyvale, CA:https://youtu.be/tGsR3JlGHjg?si=BluJjGKIq9z1nQplWatchOS app for sonic underwater communication (iPhone version coming soon):https://redwinesgarage.com/sharkshout/Several automotive hardware projects, some using contract manufacturing:https://www.instructables.com/search/?q=BenKoning&projects=all
