ABOUT ME
Embedded Systems Firmware developer/lead with 17 years experience
Embedded Systems Firmware developer/lead with 17 years experience

I enjoy bringing electronics to life through creative yet structured programming.
I have quite broad experience, having worked in military systems development, industrial automation (mining), telemetry (water and sewage management), indoor agriculture and fleet management industries.
All of these bring their own unique challenges requiring “out of the box thinking” and future proof planning in the design and implementation of the code.

My experience in Waterfall and Agile development methodologies allows me to understand old and new school challenges and how to overcome them.

I am looking forward to adding value to any of your embedded development challenges.
