Summary
Andrew Darling is a pragmatic technical support engineer and avid problem solver with 9 years of hands-on experience bridging embedded systems, motion control, and bioinformatics. He holds dual master's degrees in Electrical Engineering (digital design) and Bioinformatics, and completed a thesis benchmarking parallel-processing languages for DNA data on supercomputing platforms. His background spans low-level firmware and motor control (8051 assembly), VHDL, C, Java, and scripting for defense, industrial, and lab automation projects, plus practical work in GUI, serial I/O, and RF diagnostics. Based in Rochester, NY, he combines a researcher’s rigor with field-facing support skills—able to translate complex parallel computing results into deployable systems. Notably, he has navigated both academic publishing and proprietary defense environments, making him comfortable with high-assurance, performance-sensitive work.
