Recent projects include:

• The architecture and design of a distributed control system
• Porting the GCC C compiler to a new processor architecture
• A fast, elegant control system display

Some interesting skill areas include:

• Systems engineering especially for long term platforms
• Setting up satisfying procedures and methods to make development more predictable
• Compilers and toolchain development
• Using Linux for fast starting, long term supportable embedded displays
• Distributed message based control systems
• Using Python and other high level tools to tie together and speed up embedded development
