Course code: WEB-44

Years with company: 1

Years programming: 5

Primary programming language: C/C++

Other programming languages: Python, bash

Unit test harnesses: CppUTest, ZTest, BATS.

Something else: As many software engineers are, I'm a technology enthusiast. I went to school to computer engineering and I also love the hardware-side of computing.

Test practice now: I try to cover as much of my code as I can with unit tests, and run functional and integration tests too.

Target system: I primarily write code for embedded ARM processors in avionics systems.

Dev tools: git, vscode, docker, gdb, github.

Build time: 11-30 seconds

Coding standard: we use our own standard developed over the years for formatting.

Function too long: If you start having 4, 5, or 6 parameters that's a tip-off. Also simply the number of lines.

Code reviews: My goal when going through code reviews is to keep them as small in size and scope as possible.

Code time: 60%

Test time: 10%

Debug time: 30%

Favorite thing about dev: The speed with which you can build things. Iterative design.

Least favorite thing about dev: Managing dependencies between new and old code bases.

Tdd knowledge: Write the tests before your code and you'll catch a lot of mistakes that would have slipped by.

Why are you attending: My employer would like me to undertake this training.
