Top SchoolZach Rice is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building embedded software for consumer electronics, currently designing high-level firmware and feature GUIs at Garmin International. He specializes in bridging hardware and software—implementing AHRS sensors, MP4 A/V recording and playback, Wi‑Fi RTSP streams, and VHF digital communications—while creating abstraction layers that connect device signals to user interfaces. A hands-on tinkerer and hobbyist hardware builder, he applies the same creativity to handheld GPS units and custom multi-rotor helicopters as he does to product software. Comfortable across OEM Android (AOSP) work and C++ GUI development, he regularly contributes to cross-device feature communication and real-time embedded systems. Based in Olathe, Kansas, he blends practical engineering with a maker’s curiosity, often expressing his craft through both code and physical prototypes.
