Now part of the CAN Aviation Alliance
Proud to be a accredited by the CAN Aviation Alliance, building software for ground-based CAN Aerospace systems as a contractor of Stock Flightsystems and
Reiser Systemtechnik.
Software with the sky in mind!
When developing software in aviation environments, it's often not enough to have a good developer or architect. A thorough knowledge of aviation, its jargon and its peculiarities is needed to successfully develop and deploy software.
In the past three years I have been an active software developer for flight simulation and in UAV/MAV business. I support development of aviation software projects and deployment of open source software in aviation environments. My primary goal is a seamless integration into systems that are to be used by airmen, not programmers.
CAN Aerospace - the industry standard for data communication
The most reliable fieldbus standard available today is CAN. It drives millions of automotive systems all around the world and has proven its reliability and stability since 1987. CAN Aerospace is a lightweight high-layer protocol riding on top of standard CAN hardware. It was developed by Stock Flightsystems in 1998 and has ultimately lead to the ARINC 825 standard.
I work with CAN Aerospace systems in UAV development and for flight simulation, being tested by Stock Flightsystems. My implemenation of the CAN Aerospace standard in the X-Plane flight simulator software is the only one being tested by the CAN Aviation Alliance. If you are looking for an expert in CAN Aerospace-based software and especially CAN Aerospace on the network layer, let's talk.
Developing & Programming
My primary language for developing software is C++, although I work in Java environments also. Platform-independence matters a lot to me. My software adheres to open standards and runs everywhere, regardless of the underlying operating system. My primary development platform is GNU/Linux.
Deployment of Open Source Software
Integration of open source software such as FlightGear and JSBSim into existing systems can yield a significant advantage over developing own solutions from scratch. Deployment of JSBSim in an UAV firm was one of my former areas of work.
