I have experience as an Electrical Engineer, and Software developer. My software experience spans most of my career, and covers multiple languages and project types. As an electrical engineer, I designed hardware for testing semiconductor devices. I did this for the Disk Drive peripheral industry, DRAM and Flash memory, Image sensors, and Programmable SOC devices. Many of these platforms used FPGA devices (I always preferred Altera) where my preferred language was System Verilog. Even as an EE, I spent quite a lot of time doing software development. I did a lot of PERL coding for data manipulation, but eventually switched over to Python, lead by some well respected co-workers. I also spent a number of years building C++ tools and interfaces. Oh, and I've done a fair bit of embedded as well, using C or C++. I do prefer C++ "light versions" for embedded workIn 2011 I joined a small business with some former co-workers and entered the crazy world of "web development", where I currently do most of my work. I stuck with Python as my prefer development language for web work (eschewing PHP and C#), which lead me Django as my preferred backend framework. As a web developer you cannot ignore Javascript of course, and I have spent the past 7 or more years building my skills there. These days I prefer ReactJS for most development, and have a modern React+Redux+Webpack+Babel development flow that I am constantly improving.For at least the past 15 years I've managed teams of various sizes, both in the EE world, and in the software/web development arena. I have worked with and managed software teams in Vietnam and the Philippines, with most of my offshore experience in the Philippines.Most recently I have worked on several startups of my own, and with partners. Some have failed to materialize into real tools, but I continue working with my wife on our gardening website, and I am seeking to take a tennis scheduling hobby project of mine to a real product.
