Ed Cragg

I'm an embedded software engineer, with experience ranging from hardware design, to Linux kernel OS development, to high level software architecture design. I am interested in activites ranging from collecting data to analyse and diagnose a mysterious problem - twiddling bits in registers to bring up a piece of hardware, to designing and integrating large pieces of high level software, and how they interact. I have a passion for Rust and am looking to increase my professional exprerience in the language. I have long-term professional experience in Python, C, and tend to collect experience in a number of others. I have done a fair amount of work with embedded software, from Arduino to the Linux kernel on ARM.
