Course code: WEB-8
  • Years with company: 8
  • Years programming: 27
  • Primary programming language: C
  • Other programming languages: C++, C#

  • Test practice now: Mostly at an integration level or module by module with a custom test application
  • Target system: Mostly embedded, ARM Cortex devices
  • Dev tools: IAR, GCC, CrossStudio, Visual Studio, CCS
  • Build time: 1-5 minutes

  • Favorite thing about dev: Sense of accomplishment and solving problems. I like to see devices or applications/systems come to life and make people's lives easier or more convenient/less tedious
  • Least favorite thing about dev: Everybody likes to shortcut and not do things the right way or cleanly.
  • Tdd knowledge: Pretty much nothing
  • Why are you attending: To learn a hopefully valuable skill I can start using immediately for better quality code/systems and to share with clients.
