My career began before personal computers became ordinary and has continued through embedded systems, DOS, Unix, Windows, Linux, mobile development, FPGA design, machine vision, and modern imaging systems.
I approach engineering problems experimentally. I try to isolate variables, build controlled tests, identify what changed, and distinguish a plausible explanation from one that is actually supported by evidence.
I am especially comfortable with legacy systems, low-level software, unusual hardware, and products whose behavior cannot be understood from one layer alone.
I have designed software at nearly every level: assembly language, embedded processors, device drivers, compilers, desktop applications, mobile software, FPGA logic, image-processing pipelines, and commercial verification products.
That breadth makes it easier to recognize when a problem attributed to software is really optical, numerical, architectural, hardware-related, or caused by an interaction among several layers.
