About greatfog

I have developed firmware for Microchip 18F and Freescale 9S12 microcontrollers. My code is running in utility electric meters, truck instrument panels, locomotive airbrakes, remote environmental monitoring instruments, data communication equipment, and training simulators.

I am unemployed.
