Summary
Scott Bontrager is a Software Engineer IV with nine years of hands-on experience spanning low-level hardware debugging to high-level systems engineering, currently at OKSI in Frisco, Texas. He excels at quickly distilling fundamental problems and delivering elegant, modular frameworks that host algorithms across real-time flight, simulation, and standalone test environments. His work includes end-to-end ownership of bootloaders, board diagnostics, nanosecond-resolution D/A waveform generation, hard real-time Linux, FPGA/VHDL debugging, and high-rate gimbal control loops. Known for pragmatic software architecture in stringent real-time contexts, he pairs broad systems intuition with deep embedded expertise. A CS graduate from California State University–San Bernardino, he also brings a playful experimental streak—summarized on GitHub as “I make noises”—that reflects his hands-on, exploratory approach to engineering.
