My name is John Coble. At a young age I was fascinated by computers and taught myself Intel assembly language and BASIC to write a few toy programs and games for Commodore computers. Convinced that was the path for me to follow, I went on to the University of Illinois engineering college to make a more serious study of computer software, hardware as well as signal processing and control theory, and then on to UC Berkeley engineering graduate school to deepen and refine those skills.I now find myself a seasoned software engineer with a rich background in all phases of the software development life-cycle, including prototyping, requirements definition, coding and maintenance of fielded products. I am always looking for opportunities to build upon my experience and skills to create meaningful products and solutions that have a positive effect on people's lives.When I'm not working, I enjoy good food, cooking, travel and spending time with family and friends.Specialties: Telecommunications, digital signal processing, system and embedded software development, audio and video media processing, Android and IOS application development.
