I’m a software engineer, podcaster, writer, gardner, husband, father, public speaker, and have been known to be a nice person on occasion.
Career
I’ve spent most of my career building and working with electronic test equipment, mostly in wireless communications; building the code inside (C++), and testing them from the API (Python).
I’ve helped build communication one box testers, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and satellite test systems. It’s been fun, and continues to be an ever changing and exciting domain.
