Chris Cason is a seasoned software engineer with four decades of experience spanning embedded real-time systems, telecom firmware, and e-commerce platforms. He began developing on PDP-11/RSX-11M systems and evolved through assembler, C and C++ into kernel-level work on Linux, QNX and Windows and recent C# marketplace integrations. As an independent contractor since 1990, Chris has delivered firmware for GPON/DSL hardware, industrial control bridges and battery management electronics while also leading the core development of the open-source POV-Ray raytracer for 30+ years. Comfortable reading schematics and doing board bring-up as well as high-level API integrations, he bridges hardware and software with pragmatic, production-focused engineering. Based in Melbourne, he combines deep legacy systems knowledge with active modern web and marketplace integration experience, a rare mix that helps untangle complex, cross-domain problems.
