Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDale Herman is an experienced firmware architect and hands-on engineering leader based in Portland, Oregon, with a multi-decade career delivering embedded solutions from consumer microinverters to life-critical defibrillator monitors. He blends deep low-level expertise in bare-metal C and assembly across diverse MCUs (8051, Cortex-M variants, PIC18, 68020) with system-level work on Linux and RTOS platforms, and has shipped both high-volume low-cost products and high-value medical systems. As a manager and director he has built and mentored distributed teams, improved development processes, and driven architecture and validation efforts for solar and USB product lines. Notably, he designed a custom power-line carrier communications protocol as an individual contributor and has led firmware for grid-tied solar microinverters at SunPower and Enphase. His toolset spans trace and lab instrumentation through CI/process tools (ClearCase, Jenkins/Bamboo, JIRA, Git), reflecting an ability to move products from prototype to production at scale.
