At Link ECU I lead a team of skilled engineers in development of the new generation of the Link ECU range.I facilitate feature complete and timely product delivery, advocate for engineering within the business and as a member of the leadership team, help to ensure that Link products continue to deliver value and performance.

Canterbury & West Coast, New Zealand

At Link ECU I develop embedded control software for petrol engine management. I also define and maintain embedded software build and test systems.

At SHOTOVER I develop web and embedded software for motion picture technology including the U1 Multirotor and the G1 Gyro stabilized gimbal. Highlights of my work at present are.... Micropilot and Pixhawk control and telemetry codecs. Various point to point and multicast protocols over TCP and UDP. Web interfaced telemetry, logging, configuration, control in real time.Currently I write in C for RTOS and bare metal on Cortex-M3/M4 devices. I am involved from… Show more At SHOTOVER I develop web and embedded software for motion picture technology including the U1 Multirotor and the G1 Gyro stabilized gimbal.

Web interfaced telemetry, logging, configuration, control in real time.Currently I write in C for RTOS and bare metal on Cortex-M3/M4 devices. I am involved from driver through to application development, and have much experience with layered embedded software architecture. I develop cross platform App's in HTML5 for Web and Native, utilizing Javascript, HTML, CSS, NodeJS. For server side applications I choose Python. Show less
