    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.
