Founder
Burke & Burke
The founding premise of Burke & Burke was simple: cut the price of personal computer mass storage in half. I did this by adapting components from a much larger market to work in this niche. Did I get rich? No. But the side-hustle paid off my student loans, netted me a cash down-payment for a new house, and made me famous in that marketplace.As the business continued I developed and published more than 30 OS-9 and 6809 assembler titles and hardware upgrades for the Tandy Color Computer, including the multi-player word game Pertascii and patch-based OS-9 ports of Microsoft BASIC, Dungeons of Daggorath and Cyrus World Class Chess.I designed and implemented hardware and software for the CoCo XT Hard Disk Interface, which cut the price of hard disk systems for the Tandy Color Computer in half and achieved 60% market share.Burke & Burke was profitable every year of operation.Small Business, Customer Service, Electronic Manufacturing, Digital Circuit Design, Assembler, C, C++, Embedded Systems, Kernel Hacking, Graphics Optimization, Device Drivers, Multithreading, Performance Optimization, Cross-Platform Porting, Game Design
