Hire Ken Grimm
A little over ten years ago my dad helped me get my first software job, and it’s only right that I return the favor.
Ken Grimm, my father, is one of the most talented engineers I know. Now and then when I’m feeling pretty pleased with myself as a programmer I’ll remember that he was probably writing operating systems at my age and suddenly feel like a rank n00b again. There are a lot of good coders out there, and a lot of good hardware designers. But I suspect the number of people who can do either with equal alacrity is far smaller. Ken is a master of both realms.
I don’t know how best to describe his skillset simply because I barely understand lot of the technologies he excels at. So I’ll let him speak for himself:
My entire computer engineering career, I have endeavored to stay right at the point where hardware and software meet in realtime microprocessor systems, especially embedded realtime systems. In hardware design, all of my work has required an intimate understanding of the software which will run on this design. In software engineering, most of my work has required a thorough understanding of the hardware design, with the schematics of the hardware always at hand for reference. In addition, I have an understanding of analog circuit design far beyond that of most digital design engineers, and I am well grounded in the mechanical engineering of the products as well as the manufacturing process. This gives me a great advantage over the narrowly focused digital hardware design or software design skill sets commonly found today.
See his full engineering resume for more.
Ken has spent the last several years doing humanitarian work, and is now re-entering the tech arena. If you are in need of an engineer who thrives at the intersection of hardware and software, you should get in touch with him. He can be reached at grimmk AT kag DOT to. Or get in touch with me and I’ll get you in contact with him.
