I started programming a TRS-80 Model I in Junior High School with the goal to write arcade games. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of technologies and environments ranging from real-time telemetry data systems, state-of-the art animation and rigging software, 3D computer games, non-contact measurement acquisition devices, and digital TV systems. I have worked on everything from low-level device drivers to state of the art GUI apps using C#.
