I have been providing embedded software engineering consulting services since 1996. With extensive experience in multithreaded, event-driven embedded software/firmware architecture and implementation, I create simple, robust solutions to complex problems. I analyze problems from a high level, peeling away unnecessary or distracting layers to uncover core issues. I produce simple, extensible solutions that easily scale and accommodate new features. I am independent and self-starting, with an original, problem-solving approach and a tenacious desire to produce high quality software. Toward that end, I question designs that I think are not efficient, robust and easily extensible. Please see my projects under "Accomplishments". My skills include: Embedded systems, robotics and autonomous systems, IoT development, Hierarchical State Machine-driven systems, and network communications systems. Operating systems include: Linux, Embedded Linux, FreeRTOS, SAFERTOS, ThreadX, VxWorks, Nucleus, as well as proprietary embedded "executives" and bare metal environments. Other technologies include: BLE, WiFi-Direct, 802.11, Bluetooth, USB, CANbus, TCP/IP, routing protocols, device drivers, Qt Framework, MQTT, AMQP, DOCSIS, IP-TV, and HTTP RESTful APIs. Languages include: C, C++, Java, Python, and various Assemblers.
