Alex W.

Alex is a Computer Software Developer who specializes in embedded systems programming. Embedded systems are specialized programs meant to run in environments with limited resources and are often part of a larger system. Programming these systems requires knowledge of not only the limitations of the environment (small memory, low processing power, etc.), but the capabilities of the language used to write the program in order to maximize the program’s efficiency.
