SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Objective

I am seeking a full-time, software/firmware engineering opportunity requiring code development, and problem solving: keenly interested in obtaining a programming position with a small domestic company.

Summary of Experience

Linux C/C++ embedded application development for Arm, x86 and PowerPC using one codebase.

Windows C++ development: Qt GUI interface for a Windows Desktop application (EMCDLC), BSD Sockets TCP/IP, IPC, and *.msi, Install Shield installer packages for Windows.

Atmel AT2560 microcontroller, realtime, serial interface driver development and debugging.

Utilized Qt Creator, VSCode, MS Visual Studio, Make, Qmake, BASH, Git, Smartgit, Dependency Walker, WinMerge, CppCheck, Lintian, Shellcheck, Qemu, and WireShark.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Software Development: Created a BASH suite of scripts used to automate the creation of PowerPMAC system images. Published a Windows 7 x86 program (C++, Qt) named "EMC Data Log Converter", which converts binary data log human readable text. Created an Ubuntu based, automated, multi-cross-platform PowerPMAC builder for Arm, PowerPC, and x86 using bash scripts, git, Linaro compilers, and Makefiles. Assisted in the implementation-development of the Opener Stack, EtherNet/IP communications protocol into the PowerPMAC advanced, precision motion controller. Assisted in developing the use of a Proportional, Integral, Differential (PID) loop, method of clock synchronization into the EtherLab Stack EtherCAT implementation into our PowerPMAC Motion Controller. Debug and implement fixes to C, C++, shell code.

Applications Engineering: Provided customers the tools and guidance needed to achieve their goals of integrating advanced automation and robotic motion control into their machines, products and systems: using EtherCAT drives and I/O, EtherNet/IP, and directly wired amplifiers and servo-motors.
