Embedded software engineer with a strong foundation in computer science and a passion for bleeding edge computer architecture.I have a solid understanding of programming languages such as C and C++, advanced microcontrollers such as ARM Cortex M4F and Infineon AURIX, and systems on a chip like the AMD Zynq platform. Furthermore I am familiar with deploying software to these platforms in bare-metal, RTOS, and embedded linux configurations. I have also successfully completed coursework in autonomous robots, microprocessor applications, reconfigurable computing, digital design, and software engineering.Growing up, nothing was safe. I took apart the kitchen blender, the family DVR, I even took apart my Xbox. My childhood hobby of tearing down gadgets and reassembling them, led to many voided warranties and reinforced my curiosity for what's "under the hood" of everyday devices.
