Christopher Knadle is a seasoned systems administrator and RF engineer with 12 years of professional experience blending microwave hardware design and Debian-based Linux administration. He spent early career years designing and testing monolithic, waveguide, and coplanar waveguide microwave circuits up to 60 GHz, then transitioned to long-term IT consulting and hands-on network and email administration. Comfortable across low-level RF testbeds and server builds, he brings rare cross-domain expertise that helps diagnose problems spanning firmware, hardware, and OS layers. An active contributor to open-source tooling, he enabled cross-compilation and Qt4 support for the well-known Mumble VoIP project, showing an aptitude for build systems and portability. Based in Middletown, NY, he holds an MSEE with a 3.83 GPA and pairs deep academic training with practical, client-facing consulting. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions that bridge legacy RF systems and modern Linux infrastructure.
