Experience
In the summer of 2011, I will have been working in the
electronics industry for 25 years, in both England and the USA.
I
have worked on projects ranging from military radar to cell phones and
cellular communication systems, and from aircraft jet turbine
monitoring to process control.
From
1997 until today, I have worked for Alcatel-Lucent (formerly Lucent
Technologies,) both as a consultant and as a permanent employee.
My areas of expertise include systems architecture, writing
software in C, C++ and assembly language. I have experience ranging
from developing code for embedded systems, like cell phones, to writing
programs for PCs, and creating web pages using html, javascript and css.
For several years, I have taught math, computing and science
classes to my son (now aged 15 and expecting to graduate high school in
2012) and to small groups of homeschooled students.
Interests
and
hobbies
I now work part-time, which gives me time with my family and
also to pursue some of my other interests.
I have an enthusiast of alternative technology, and have
converted my truck to run on waste vegetable oil, and installed a solar
hot water system on my home. Our home is heated by a Margin Gem
wood-fired stove, on which we also cook all our meals through Fall,
Winter and Spring.
I keep chickens for eggs and meat for our family, maintain a
few bee hives, and grow a small garden.
Nature and wildlife have long been an area of interest for
myself and my wife, Lorna. Together we present a series of workshops,
which you can learn more about at http://www.WiseOwlWorkshops.com.
I am also active in my church and local community, chairing
the Liberty Township Environmental Commission, and participating in
amphibian monitoring and rescue on local streets.
