Dave Dunfield

I have over 25 years experience in embedded systems design. Primarily a software/firmware engineer, I have a strong hardware background, and have designed many complete HW/SW systems. I work equally well from a software only perspective using existing/specified hardware.

My realm of experience includes many processors/control complexes and widely varied interfaces. I am particularly strong in packing a high degree of functionality into small/cost-sensitive designs. I have a reputation for high quality and quick turnaround time. On several occasions I have been called in to "rescue" a project where a larger team has failed to meet the required timelines.

I also have a great deal of experience with systems software, real time schedulers, languages and development tools (my company "Dunfield Development Services" markets my own line of C compilers, assemblers, simulators, debuggers, interpreters and other tools for embedded work).

Summary of Qualifications:

• 25+ years of experience in embedded systems design
