Course code: WOL-1

Years with company: 6

Years programming: 20

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Assembly, Python, C#

Unit test harnesses: cpputest

Something else: I'm working on a pilots license and building my own experimental aircraft. I have 2 dogs and 12 acres to myself in Wisconsin. I've only worked as an employee once before becoming a contractor for the last 15 years.

Test practice now: Manually

Target system: Embedded. Typically 8 or 32 bit.

Dev tools: Usually just a syntax highlighting editor. Vendor tools if needed.

Build time: Under 10 seconds

Coding standard: It borrows heavily from the linux kernel.

Function too long: Minimizing complexity is more important than minimizing length. A function should do one thing well.

Code reviews: I'm usually solo on any one module. For anyone affected I usually review over screen share.

Code time: 33

Test time: 33

Debug time: 33

Favorite thing about dev: Creation. Automating a complex task to make it simple and useful. Also getting paid.

Least favorite thing about dev: Needless complexity. Design decisions being made by unqualified individuals.

Tdd knowledge: Automates testing of requirements from the design phase. I would say it promotes top-down.

Why are you attending: This project requires it, and I like learning new things. I'm also getting paid.
