Experienced computer engineer specializing in embedded software. Focused on providing hardware to software solutions in the computer technology industry. I am a highly motivated self-learner who found my passion in computer programming after my departure from the Air Force. A creative problem solver who draws on a broad base of information and experience to construct innovative solutions in low level software development of next-generation applications.Proficient in a wide variety of low level programming languages and techniques. Organized and productive, I enjoy taking on difficult and complex challenges, with a keen interest in working as close to the hardware as possible. Analyzing assembly code to optimize clock counts and program space is akin to solving a logic puzzle; the more intricate the better. I strive to develop clean code with comments that help future programmers understand the direction and reasoning behind the code. As a result of my systematic and test oriented approach to development, I am skilled in creating and running unit tests and automated test scripts to aid in pinpointing defects and validating optimizations, while confidently identifying and troubleshooting potential issues as early as possible.
