My name is Michael Caldwell. I have worked for over a decade as a software engineer in the FibreChannel and Ethernet industry. My primary focus during this time has been writing applications that interface with the hardware used in development, testing, and manufacturing of Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). More recently I was the lead developer for the Hardware Diagnostics for Security Appliances at Symantec. These positions allowed me to work cross-functionally with Hardware, Driver, and Software teams and enabled a broad knowledge over the products I worked with. In addition I've had a strong focus on automating workflows in the build and test portions of our software development.
Before becoming a developer, I worked as a graphic designer for design firms and print shops, as well as numerous private clients. Working in both design and print, I have gained insight into how designs can be produced effectively and beautifully in both digital and print mediums.
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. I am also a Certified Manufacturing Technologist (CMfgT). I have gained experience in my field through practical educational experience, my senior practicum, as well as through internships.
Coastal Vectors is the name by which I market my services as both a graphic designer and as an engineer.
