As a nod to the financial means to many ends in my life, I'm an
"Electronics Engineer". Working in electronics started in 1972 courtesy of the
U.S. Air Force; sometime in 1978, I received a 1st assignment as an Engineer.
It's been in some form of that capacity that I've made a comfortable living
ever since. I've worked in the Weights and Measures industry (electronic
industrial scales), as a consultant, in the Semiconductor Equipment field and,
since the turn of the century, in the wonderously unstable world of
datacom/telecom. My expertise is microprocessor solutions to embedded process
control applications with extensive experience in process control algorithms,
instrumentation, and industrial networking. |

I have a couple of years
experience developing software for
Intel’s MCS-4
microprocessor (that, folks, was THE original microprocessor) but,
thankfully, moved on. Since then, I’ve worked with Intel, Motorola,
Signetics, Atmel, ARM, and
RCA processor chipsets. Almost all of the projects have been a lot of fun;
I still very much enjoy the technical aspects of microprocessor hardware and
software design, and Dilbert strikes a
regular chord from my past. One of these days, however, I’ll grow up, go
to college and get a real job.
