Working as an embedded software engineer for over 18 years, I've been involved in many diverse product developments. Systems I've worked on range from very tiny to very large, from telecom test equipment to consumer electronics. Most of these developments used C and C++ with some scripting in Perl, Python or Ruby to aid development. My strengths are in system specification, architecture definition and team leadership.In recent years I've developed an interest in Kite Aerial Photography (KAP). Examples of my work can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/flickrdave/sets/1023336/My interest in KAP has led me to get involved with TIGHAR in their Amelia Earhart project.
