Summary
Anthony Pray is a versatile freelance developer in Portland, Oregon with 15 years of professional experience and over two decades of hands-on programming across web and embedded systems. He specializes in solving high-stakes technical challenges—often serving as the go-to engineer for problems others deem intractable—and rapidly picks up new technologies to deliver practical solutions. His background includes cloud performance optimization at Intel (x86 and ARM), open source advocacy and demonstrations at CES and MWC, and bespoke embedded firmware for products like DJI gimbal interfaces and a digital sawmill retrofit. Comfortable bridging technical and non-technical audiences, he translates complex systems into clear narratives for demos, stakeholders, and students (including HDL/Verilog course material he authored). He combines field-proven reliability with a knack for turning legacy hardware into modern, maintainable systems and shares code through his GitHub (odwdinc).
