👤
SeniorDon Mies is a retired Lead Software Architect with decades of hands-on experience designing and delivering high-availability server systems, embedded controllers, and real-time systems across industries from automotive and biomedical to telecommunications. He pairs deep Unix and C/C++ expertise with a multidisciplinary background in physics, optics, electronics and biology, enabling practical solutions for challenging performance, portability, and reliability problems. His work ranges from architecting vehicle domain controllers and OTA update managers at Jaguar Land Rover to building 99.999% uptime GPS server farms and cross-platform remote support systems. A proven mentor and integrator, he has led distributed teams and international subcontractors while contributing to open-source projects and improving build, testing, and runtime diagnostics.
