I was the team leader on numerous projects and directed in-house engineers as well as 3rd-party contractors. I analyzed system specifications, made recommendations for system hardware, and designed bespoke software applications according to customer requirements for a wide variety of projects. During field commissioning I performed troubleshooting under high-pressure time constraints and successfully resolved issues that otherwise would have blocked project completion. Projects included light rail systems in Denver, Seattle, Portland, Tucson, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Jose, Detroit, Dallas, Memphis, Charlotte, and Boston.

8-bit microprocessors running at 1MHz; 4K of ROM; 128 bytes of RAM, (yes BYTES, not kilobytes). Those were the proverbial Days Of Yore when programmers coded in assembly language and counted clock cycles.I programmed video games for the Atari 2600 console. This was embedded software written in assembly language for severely resource-constrained hardware.
