Course code: BIRD-1

Years with company: 4+

Years programming: 31+

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Currently C#, C++

Unit test harnesses: None

Something else: From a development perspective, I've grown accustomed to a "stone knives and bear skins" approach due to the lack of availability of tools and budget. So, I've learned to make due.

Test practice now: I tend to build testing into a module and then exercise module functionality using those test functions.

Target system: RF IQ Capture and PLayback devices

Dev tools: Currenlty Visual Studio and QT

Build time: 11-30 seconds

Coding standard: Modular and typical C formatting but I like lots of white space so that it's easy for me to read at a glance.

Function too long: When I can no longer digest it's purpose in a screen or two of scrolling.

Code reviews: Since becoming involved in engineering at X-COM, I've been fixing & maintaining code that was written by interns. There are only two of us and we work together daily.

Code time: 5-10

Test time: 25

Debug time: 65-70

Favorite thing about dev: It's just fun to see your work come to life.

Least favorite thing about dev: Nothing really.

Tdd knowledge: Maybe not a lot of TDD, but in development projects in the past before X-COM, testing was always a part of the design and development process from the beginning.

Why are you attending: I love to learn something new every day.
