In January 2004, three ISU EE graduates and one other ISU alumna formed Open Engineering, LLC to focus on designing a wide variety of electronic and RF equipment, and applications using open source software. Currently, Open Engineering is focusing its efforts on developing applications based on a embedded ARM processor based computer systems running the Linux OS. As Chief Technology Officer, my primary responsibilities are developing end-user software, web applications, and interfaces for our products. I also investigate new ideas and products for Open Engineering and its customers.
Recently Open Engineering was contacted to complete a site and equipment survey for a cellular repeater for a client. On this project, I acted as project leader. As part of my responsibilities I investigated and designed a cellular repeater system, wrote project documentation, and presented our final design and cost breakdown to our client.
