Developed and maintained firmware for Elecsys and Lindsay products.

I had the idea for Catpocalypse before I had the idea for making a company. Making one led to the creation of the other. Creating both was a learning experience in everything from trademarks to in game font creation. Both of those in particular were trickier than expected, but getting them done was very rewarding.• Created idea for mobile game ​ Catpocalypse.• Designed game and selected libGDX framework for the build.• Learned the framework and designed structure for game.• Implemented the full game and released to Android and iOS.• Used Scrum and Agile development styles.

Being a lead engineer was a very rewarding experience. There were two sides to the job, first and foremost was being the person responsible for everything that happened while my team was active. With as many as three process engineers, five equipment technicians and nearly a hundred tools there was always a lot going on. Dealing with the technical side of that was always a challenge. The other side was interacting with the people. That was interesting in a very different way. In my view the difference between the expectations of each individual leads to many unpredictable interactions. Solving some of those reactions was every bit as challenging as the technical side. Surprisingly I enjoyed it just as much.• Responsible for operation, quality and continuous improvement of the MDE Diffusion Area.• Created and proved the capability of modular nitride as an alternative to single SAW.• Created and implemented the new Poly Recipe Shell to all Micron sites.• Directed TEL and Nitride TPM teams to improve tool availability.• Successfully assisted with the Fab 15 APG DRAM start up.• Trained in Six Sigma, SPC, Lean, Kepner-Tregoe (KT)• Mentored and directed a shift of engineers and technicians to maintain tool operation.

This job laid the foundation for my career. I learned everything I could and built a reputation as an expert at poly silicon deposition. This led to the creation of better processes that would be the basis for many improvements to my knowledge and the final product.• Responsible for keeping all processes in spec and evaluating tool process capability.• Poly process owner responsible for maintaining proper CPK of all processes.• Trained new PDE engineers for their initial exposure to the Fab.• Managed tool redundancy by writing recipes on tools as needed.• Assisted PDE in their role of developing new processes.
