Hi there! it’s been a while! I have since completed contract role with Seatel Cobham in Concord, CA

I am available for employment at this time and I do live within walking distance of the BART train.

It sounds like you have not yet filled this role? Currently i am being considered for about 15 roles nationwide.
this last role I was tasked to create a test framework(aka test harness) that was targeted to embedded development team members so they could build test cases.

If you are interested in continuing with me, please let me know.

Have a great day!
