Eric Macdonald Email & Phone Number

I’m a reliable, hard working problem solver who delivers high quality firmware/software product on schedule. I’ve spent the last 15 plus years designing, developing, integrating, debugging, firmware/software/hardware Telecommunications Carrier Platform solutions. I’ve contributed to the development and deployment of many revenue generating products and boast zero field returns.I’m passionate about the development of low level firmware device drivers and fault handling. I also able to develop object oriented system level maintenance software to manage those drivers and hardware. I have developed a cookie-cutter documentation design and implementation strategy to rapidly develop and incrementally deploy cost effective upgradable device drivers and fault handling in well structured operating environments such as Linux.I thoroughly understand processing systems at the hardware level which translates to effective device driver and fault handling development and debug. In terms of quality, my keen focus on requirements in feature development and system wide watchful eye towards behavioural correct¬ness allows me to not only identify issues in my area but also system wide. I deliver remarkably low defect rate metrics with high endgame product quality and reliability. I’ve hosted beer-for-bugs program (15years) to anyone who can identify issue with any of my delivered code.Specialties: • Development of cost effective Zone Based Loadable Fault Handlers, low level device access and configuration drivers in Linux.• Comprehensive understanding of processing board functions at the hardware, firmware, operating system and software application levels.• Strong issue identification and debug skills using methodical tactics, theoretical analysis, code inspection, requirement, behavioral understanding and good old fashion resourcefulness and hard work.
