I was fortunate in my career to have always worked for companies and on products that were leaders in the industry. * Digi was the world's largest maker of serial subsystems and i proudly helped produce several of those products.* I worked for SCO (before they were bought by corporate raiders who piloted the company into the ground) and worked on what was at that time THE way (and the other way) to run UNIX on a Intel from PCs up into datacenters.* I spent 13 years working on a product known to everyone and the subject of at least two movies, Lion and (sigh) Billion Dollar Code. While I did a lot of low-level slug work, I also did feature development (Filmstrip, GPS support, gx:Track, mobile Track, Android UI rewrites, ViewStatus (that bottom line with coordinates, copyrights, altitude), etc.) I remain super proud of that product and am happy to have it so well known.In 2017, my body failed and even after major surgeries, my professional life never recovered. I joined the the disabled and thus "retired" earlier than I'd ever intended.During times I feel well, I still work on GPSBabel and I now tinker with RISC-V, particularly working with microcontrollers, just to amuse myself and try to keep my brain non-idle even when my body insists on being in Park.
Listed skills include Linux, Software Engineering, Software Development, Unix, and 45 others.
