Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKen Howe is a seasoned software engineer and test automation specialist with over a decade of experience designing and validating system-level software for storage, high-availability clustering, and massively parallel architectures. He brings rare cross-disciplinary depth—expert C programming plus C++, Java and scripting—combined with hands-on kernel and hardware diagnostic experience from embedded ARM development to Verilog/HDL simulation comparisons. Ken has led geographically distributed QA teams, built end-to-end automated “first-look” frameworks for complex product suites, and defined secure deployment processes for encrypted binaries on tamper-resistant hardware. Known for spotting subtle defects in math and inter-processor communications, he pairs a big-picture systems perspective with a detail-oriented testing mindset. Based in Beaverton, Oregon, he blends aerospace and mathematical training with pragmatic software and test engineering to make complex systems reliably deployable.
