Starting from scratch, Expert designed and delivered a complete TCP/IP-based environmental monitoring system in four short months for the Employer. The project started up in mid-January this year, and Lockheed-Martin took delivery of the first working system in mid-April.A complete automotive stereo system was designed and developed for Aston Martin in just four months. The design work began in August of 2009, and the first working unit was demonstrated to Aston Martin in December of the same year.In just ten short weeks, Expert developed the firmware for Murata Power Solutions' AC/DC Power Supply System. This involved developing firmware for three different cooperating microcontrollers.

Additional Experience
| Vendor Selection |
|---|
| Linked-In has been an invaluable resource. |
| Marketing Experience |
|---|
| In spite of the critical importance of firmware, it continues to be poorly documented by developers. This includes a paucity of inline comments in the code, as well as a near total lack of accompanying requirements and design documents. One of Expert's great strengths is the ability to quickly reverse-engineer and report on the structures and algorithms in the code in spite of its poor documentation. |
| Other Relevant Experience |
|---|
| Strong communication skills, both written and oral. A good listener. Willing to work late at night and on weekends to get a job done. Willing to travel when necessary. |
