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."

The Archives: History & Expertise
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
Designer of first ever in-car MP3 player. Last modification timestamp of software is October 1999
Reactor Operator Experience
Electrical Switchboard Operator Experience
Soldering Expert
NCSU Electrical Engineering Degree
Commercial Facilities Engineering Experience
Commercial Product Design Experience
Hydraulic Control Demonstration:
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.
