ABOUT

I am an experienced freelancer in the industrial embedded world, providing the service you want at the time you need.

Background

Based in the UK, after a full service career in the Royal Air Force within Avionics and software engineering, I entered civilian life, extending my software engineering experience but still within embedded systems using Java, Ada, and primarily C programming languages. This was both for application and driver development. Also trained and operated as a Software QA Auditor for a brief time.

Gained extensive experience in the defense market at system level as well as a brief spell in software development for white goods.

Having progressed to Senior Software Engineer and proved that I understood systems in both hardware and software fields, was asked to manage the technical support department of a division of a global defense industry company, specialising in computing and Radar display driver technology.

Latterly employed by an industrial networking specialist manufacturer as Senior Field Application Engineer where I have travelled much of Europe and some areas of the United States, troubleshooting customer issues and liaising with customers helping to develop their network topology. In this area my experience of networking, io, embedded computing, Linux, and drivers has proved invaluable, most especially bringing all technological traits together for Internet of Things Edge system definitions.
