I've run 100+ person organizations including an MCI engineering team in the 80's and a small army of developers while I was CTO at Arthur Andersen's VLN division. I designed and manufactured most of Hydrofarm's Autopilot line of Ag Tech including upgrading their flagship Phantom lighting products and digital controls, and have designed and manufactured lighting and electronic controls for many others. I'm semi-retired now, but always looking for interesting and exciting projects, especially those requiring Asian manufacturing since I have a second home in Thailand. I’m comfortable in Altium designing circuits and laying out boards, coding in C, C++ and assembly on whatever the chosen chipset is from PICs to ARMs, ESP32, STM32, etc., and I manage and lead teams of coders and engineers better by being able to do what they do. Please note: I’m a contractor so my location is usually Atlanta, San Diego, or Tulsa right now.Assembly Language

I graduated from an accredited university with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering with a GPA of 3.65. Since that point I now have over 10 years experience in various fields of engineering ranging from electric drives to security systems. My primary focus has been with embedded systems and PCB design. I have used numerous controllers in past designs however the most popular with my clients has been the arduino and various versions of it. Also the teensy has been a popular choice lately. I use Eagle Cad to design PCB's and can design up to four layers although two layers will suffice for most projects. I also have have experience with various IOT modules such as the laird bl652, esp8266, and the particle. If you have any questions please contact me.Assembly Language

Sid is passionate about bringing electrical project ideas and concepts all the way to completion as design files ready for mass production. From making sure the initial idea is viable, to choosing the parts, designing the electrical schematic, and routing the PCB...to writing, debugging and testing the firmware required for the requisite functionality. PROGRAMMING • 18 years of experience with programming in C/C++, BASIC, and Assembler (machine code). • Extensive experience writing firmware utilizing hardware interrupts, MCU peripherals, RTOS, and multithreading. • Equally at home writing firmware for 8-bit processors (Microchip PIC, 8051, etc.) as with 32-bit processors (including ARM-based processors, the ESP32 product series, and more). • Writes tight and efficient code that is both fast and very lightweight: reduces processor requirements and cost. • Experience in writing secure firmware update infrastructure (for any processor with bootloader provision and self-write capability, including the ESP32). • Use of captive-portal HTML5 web UIs for easy headless product field setup and configuration, bypassing the need for iOS & Android app development and costs. ELECTRICAL • 16 years of experience designing schematics & PCBs in EDA software. (Currently using KiCAD, a powerful cross-platform EDA suite. As it's free, that means that you can easily view project design files at any time without any costly subscription requirements.) • Enjoys finding creative and unusual solutions to design challenges (both electrical and software), to meet budgetary requirements and/or space constraints. • Experience with both monochrome and color LCD UIs, with user interaction via physical buttons, switches, encoders, touch pads, TFT LCD touchscreens, IR remotes and more.Assembly Language

"Jack of all trades, master of none" is typically said in a derogatory fashion, but I adopt the title gladly, and you will not likely find more than a few dozen generalists worldwide who can match my troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. I've been programming, on and off, for well over 40 years, if you count my study of BASIC in 1968, 6 years before I actually got my hands on a computer: the DECSystem-10 at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. As a result of working on computers and microcontrollers of various sizes and capabilities over the years, I have learned to get to the basics of a problem, come up with a prototype solution, and refine it to the customer's satisfaction. My methodology, which I found later is used by many successful programmers, is "build one to throw away"... once the code is working, rewrite it from scratch, correcting the false assumptions made in the first attempt, and refactoring to make a clean, maintainable, codebase. My background in both the electrical/electronics side of things plus years of experience reverse-engineering and improving software on dozens of different architectures gives me the rounded background necessary to take on projects which leave specialists lost. I may charge more than most, but when you've run up against a brick wall, I can likely find a way over, around, or through it.Assembly Language

I have over ten years of experience in software and hardware architecture, development, and testing. I am a generalist -- I enjoy researching and creating new tools/algorithms to solve problems that lack existing solutions. My more specific skills are: 1) *performance bottlenecks* -- I squeeze every last drop of performance out of hardware, including multi-core/vector CPU hardware and GPU accelerators. I have deep knowledge in this area and can optimize at all stack levels from algorithms to machine code to hardware pipelines. 2) *deep neural networks* -- I know neural network algorithms and optimizations. I specialize in image and video inference. 3) *security architecture* -- the first step to a secure architecture is knowing your adversaries and what they are capable of. A secure architecture must be designed like watertight plumbing -- a leak anywhere results in catastrophic failure once an adversary finds it. I can help you define a watertight security architecture for your product(s) and infrastructure, preferably using military-grade asymmetric-key encryption technology. 4) *computer networks and IT infrastructure* -- I have several years of experience managing compute, storage, and device infrastructure and know the Internet Protocol (IP) stack. My goal is to be your "easy button" and produce a solution that we're both happy with. First, I will make sure I understand your problem space before working on a solution, respecting your time by asking only key questions. Then, as I start working, I will provide updates/metrics/demos to ensure that I deliver what you want. Finally, I will produce code/documentation/artifacts optimized for readability and maintainability.Assembly Language

I have loved math and physics all my life, and I am currently most interested in high-energy physics and quantum gravity. I have been programming for over 10 years, starting with turtle graphics in Visual Basic as a kid. I then learned Java and C++ to make larger applications. Since then I have learned many other programming languages and studied algorithm design as well as game physics engines, graphics, and data structures. I learn new things quickly; I am good at a lot of the things I try, and when I am not, I put in the work. My hobbies include powerlifting and bodybuilding, languages, music, and reading books.Assembly Language
