I was a Nuclear Reactor Operator in the US Navy, I have dozens of patents, and am working as a senior firmware engineer. I desire to use my skills to bring profitability to my employer.
I believe this software program is the "crown jewel" of my portfolio.
I wanted to build an IP Controlled drone before drones were a thing. I spent years researching network behavior such as packet loss, misordered, packets, latency etc. I made a responsive, yet lightweigh though robust communication protcol. I used my foundation of telemetry protocol knowledge to do this.
I made a physics simulation and a flight control algorithm that runs inside it. I discovered years later that NASA calls this "Software in the loop."
Ever since my earliest memories, I've been a tinkerer. I spent my high school evenings writing computer programs. Now I own my own company, have a website, and have done at least one substantial job while paying my own taxes. I can assess your situation and quickly provide the custom electronic circuits and/or computer programs to meet your needs. I've written mission-critical software and, having underwater nuclear experience, I understand administration and the effects downtime can have on your operation.
Claims & Milestones:
1999 Western Carolina High School Programming Contest Winner
This control system had half a dozen valves and a variable swashplate pump. Each change of direction felt like a "symphony" and the motion of each unit needed to be coordinated via software.
3D Modelling Examples
Solid Works Example
I did these as a personal hobby while in college at NCSU. I used this with the VectorFlight program referenced above.
Like the in-care MP3 player described above, this drone was before drones were a thing.
I modeled the drone and Logitech camera with SolidWorks based on what woudl be practical to physically buidl with balsawood.
I also modeled, ordered, then personally populated the circuit board which is shown in the circuit thumbnail shown above.
Physical
Modeled
SketchUp and NI Multisim
I did this in SketchUp of a lot I once owned.
I used Lidar data, lastools and python scripts to turn the topography into a Sketchup model.
I then modeled a driveway before abandoning this build and selling the lot.
This is the circuit board in the drone shown above.
