Bio:
Co-Founder of Droplabs
I am a senior software engineer with a classical computer science education and more than 25 years of software engineering experience. I have over 15 years of experience in expanding the unix operating system to provide extentions to control automatic test equipment for VLSI and Memory chips.
In addition to being a member of the drupal community I belong to ACM, IEEE and PMI. I have experience managing mixed hardware and software projects with up to 10 people. I am currently a freelance programmer/ software engineer and web application developer. I am a team player, I believe teams are significantly stronger than the sum of the individuals that make up the team.
