    Background: Masters in control theory and signal processing, working in the auto industry for the last 7 years, first on low level powertrain software then the last year or so on LIDAR&#x2F;computer vision for autonomous vehicles. I&#x27;ve done the most work in C, but I&#x27;m now contributing to safety development work with the Rust consortium and Ferrous Systems through my current employer.

    Currently doing software defined vehicle software architecture with a focus on fail-safe and fail-operational, loosely coupled, distributed systems. This includes some standards contributions and work with high level suppliers like Nvidia and Renesas for next-generation software&#x2F;hardware system co-development.

    Primary skills include hard real time embedded systems, safety critical applications, firmware development, system integration and complex hardware&#x2F;software interaction debugging, along with detailed data analysis problems.

    Side interests include machining, 3D printing, embedded system development, coffee roasting and furniture making.
