Short Bio
I am a software engineer working for Pelco by Schneider Electric. I’m working as part of the operating system team on IP-based security cameras. I grew up in Hillsboro, Oregon and moved to Fort Collins, Colorado shortly after graduating from BYU to work for HP. Although I have significant experience developing web-based applications, today I prefer more device-oriented development and programming for embedded systems.
