4641 Paragon Park Rd, Raleigh, NC 27616

Embedded Software Engineer (04/01/2015 – 07/02/2015)

Created software on Linux based raspberry pi device, Software communicated via modbus and socket network back to internet. Software was written in C++ using Visual Studio via SSH connection to the Linux PCB.

NOTE: Position was cut short due to miss-understanding on the job requirements. I had mentioned during interview that had done some PCB design, since I finished the project they had given me in half the expected time they wanted me to design PCB's nor what I was hired for and not what I am great at. Thus it was decided to termination the relationship.
