Recently relocated to Pittsburgh, PA, I am a Radio Frequency (RF) LabVIEW/Software engineer with over 10 years of LabVIEW application and software development. I focus on both software and hardware with a bit of a talent in software. I have worked at a variety of companies in a variety of locations as both a full-time employee and a contractor.

I hope you will find it interesting.
