Formal objective Experienced Senior Embedded Software Developer, seeking positions in Architecture, Programming or Integration. Over ten years’ experience programming in C in Linux environments. Enthusiastic power user and administrator, with a track record of pro-actively seeking improved solutions for both myself and my teams.
Informal personal statement I’ve been a programmer since elementary school, where I taught myself Applesoft BASIC on an Apple //+. Since then, I’ve spent my time playing with C, Assembly, Linux, and a bit more PHP than I’d like to admit. I’m a hacker at heart (the creative law-abiding kind, not a cracker who breaks into other people’s systems!), always looking for better ways to do things, and searching for another tweak or nifty utility (many of which I’ve written for myself, either out of necessity or for the challenge). In addition to being an introverted keyboarder, I enjoy presenting on technical topics; our Chief Development Officer (and Ph.D. in Cryptography) described a presentation I gave on a Linux kernel module I wrote as “informative and entertaining”, and I cannot imagine a higher praise.
Selected Relevant Skills Programming: C (PC & Embedded R/T), MIPS Assembly, Linux Programming, Socket programming, C++, Perl, Shell Scripting, AWK/sed, basic Python.
Networking: TCP/IP, UPnP, DLNA, Multicast IPTV.
Systems administration: Windows NT/2000/XP/7/8/Server 2012, Linux (RedHat (and CentOS), Ubuntu, and Debian), Samba, Kerberos v5, OpenLDAP, NFS, NIS, OpenAFS.
Hardware: Ethernet routers, MyriNET (Fiber and Cable), System Assembly and Technical Support
Digital Video:MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DVB, DirecTV A3/DSS.
Engineering: PSpice, Orcad Capture, ExpressPCB, Synopsys

  2. I’m leaving this up in the hope that it will find it’s way to Google.

    Pantheon Inc apparently employees people who are unable to understand the words “Not Currently Seeking Employment (No headhunters / Unsolicited jobs offers, please).”

    In case you need a decent recruiting firm…. look elsewhere.
