My expertise is in the field of embedded systems, software development, and real-time theory. I obtained a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University where I focused on embedded systems, software development, control systems, and analog & digital circuit design. I have also obtained a graduate Embedded Systems Certificate from the Center for Advanced Engineering and Technology Education at the University of Colorado. This coursework provided additional expertise in embedded systems, real-time theory, and Hybrid Systems using FPGAs and reconfigurable soft-cores. I have over 6 years of experience developing embedded software for Ball Aerospace & Technologies. Through this work I have gained experience in all stages of product and software development. I have been responsible for the delivery of critical software in a space environment implementing satellite power systems, precise thermal control, and instrument and mechanism management. I have worked closely with our customers and have demonstrated good interpersonal and communication skills through my written work and presentations.
