Summary
Daniel Garcia is a versatile contract software developer based in Portland with 17 years of hands-on experience spanning embedded systems, firmware, and application-level tools. He has shipped firmware and drivers for biometric and IoT devices, built image-processing and cryptography integrations, and automated data analysis tooling in C# for Intel’s energy measurement systems. Comfortable across C/C++, embedded C, VHDL, and high-level stacks (Objective-C/Java/C#), he bridges hardware and software with practical lab skills—oscilloscope, JTAG, soldering—that accelerate prototyping and debugging. Past projects include ZigBee networking, fingerprint/voice biometrics, and mobile identity/payment work that leveraged RSA and OTP libraries, showing a strong security-conscious mindset. Known for turning legacy code and hardware quirks into reliable products, he excels in short-term contracts and part‑time roles where multidisciplinary problem solving and rapid delivery matter.
