Summary
Randall M is an experienced embedded software engineer with 8+ years in recent roles and a long career dating back to early hardware and electronics work; he specializes in safety-critical C and modern C++ (including MISRA-compliant C++17/C++19) for ECUs, medical devices, and mission-critical radio systems. He has delivered embedded Linux and Android middleware, kernel builds, and performance-focused device drivers, and has hands-on experience across sensors like camera, RADAR, LIDAR and biomedical sensors. Comfortable in DevOps-style toolchains (Docker, CMake, Git/GitHub, Jenkins, Clang-Tidy), he has also produced design artifacts (HLDs, UML) and mentored junior engineers. Notably, his background spans both hardware and software—starting in electronics and hardware development before earning a computer engineering degree—giving him a practical systems-level perspective often missing in pure software engineers. Based in Fort Lauderdale, he’s currently contracting through Actalent at Maxar Technologies, continuing to apply embedded expertise to complex aerospace and autonomous systems.
