Hi,

In regards to your question, I'm a hardware engineer.
I'm actually just about to jump feet first into PCB layout. I'm taking a course in Philly in November.

As for programming, from October 2001 to November 2004 I wrote automated test apps. That was a lot of fun! I got to write PC software that interfaced to a lot of other equipment (including PICs). I was able to do some embedded with that as well.

Eventually I want to work for myself full-time, but that's a little way off yet. I need to get my skill set stronger. Currently, I'm reasonably good at several things, but, unfortunately, not great at any one thing.

I see you're in California. I'm just north of the US border in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Anyway, take it easy and keep on Pic'n!
