Course code: WEB-21

Years with company: 0

Years programming: 3

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Python, assembly

Unit test harnesses: N/A

Something else: I am a Jr software engineer for Lionel, I do the production code for model trains.

Test practice now: Depends on what is being tested, currently I build it, flash it the target device and test functionality or try to break it. Otherwise I try to add a piece at a time, and test it as I go to see if it works with known input/outputs

Target system: I use several, AVR's, ARM, SNC, PICs

Dev tools: Atmel Studio, Notepad++, custom tools, SONiX36K compiler

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: N/A, essential if it works, it is fine

Function too long: No idea, when it can be broken down smaller?

Code reviews: N/A

Code time: 20

Test time: 40

Debug time: 40

Favorite thing about dev: I like solving puzzles and making things that do other things.

Least favorite thing about dev: Its a love/hate with the frustration that can come with embedded system development. The frustration is annoying and tedious, but once I overcome something the dopamine hit is incredible.

Tdd knowledge: Not much, going through your book is on this week's to do list.

Why are you attending: Many embedded devs I respect recommend the course and I want to improve to their level.
