Course code: WEB-31

Years with company: 5

Years programming: spotty 15

Primary programming language: matlab

Other programming languages: ruby, C, java, vhdl, labview

Unit test harnesses: only custom vhdl testbenches, a long time ago

Something else: I'm an electrical engineer, so I generally hand off my hardware after designing it to our embedded folks. I have programmed my own hardware in C in the past and want to get back to bringing up my own boards.

Test practice now: The programming I do now is more scripting to analyze data and so it is generally running right in front of me and I am the consumer of the output, so my eyes are the test.

Target system: Various embedded MCU's.

Dev tools: TI's Code Composer Studio, Altium, matlab

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: N/A

Function too long: N/A

Code reviews: N/A

Code time: 1

Test time: 1

Debug time: 1

Favorite thing about dev: The quick development cycle. I don't have to send a design out to get fabricated, I just have to compile it.

Least favorite thing about dev: Its intangibility

Tdd knowledge: My understanding is that it's defining the successful outputs of a function before the function is written. And that this approach would lend itself to simpler software architecture and collaboration between contributors.

Why are you attending: I want to get more familiar with our product's code base and start bringing up my own boards, or at least refresh my skillset for doing so.
