Primarily Python and C development, but also work with web (html, php, css, nodejs) and C++. PLC programming as well.

Lincoln, Ri

Developed software (in C) for gas analysis instrumentation (Gas concentration and dewpoint analyzers). Also wrote software (Python, HTML, PHP) for Raspberry Pi test stations and data loggers with local and web interfaces. Also Python database migration tools.(Alpha Omega was sold to Cosa Xentaur, who later closed down the RI location, so I was laid off.)

Faria Beede purchased F.W. Telematics (formerly Faria Watchdog)and it became the Telematics Division.The product and my responsibilities remained the same.

Company's main product is a dual-band telematics product (think of it as a real-time black box) which monitors devices (typically vehicles or vessels) condition, reporting via GSM and/or Satellite modem to a central server (or Cloud, to some of you) Fleet Management system.Most of my work has been with the software and hardware interfaces to the controlled devices:(Interfaces such as CAN, J1939, RS232, RS485, MODBUS, J1708/J1587)Some variables monitored: Position, course, speed, fuel levels, engine fault codes, tonnage processed (for mining conveyor systems)..
