Changing Gears
There has been a big change at Tejas Software Consulting. I am now working full-time at New York Air Brake at their Train Dynamic Systems division in Fort Worth, Texas. It’s the first time I’ve worked close to home in Fort Worth. I’m working on train simulators that are used to train locomotive engineers.
Another big change is my role - sustaining engineer. After hearing from recruiters for years about doing development on embedded systems, I’m finally giving it a try. I am doing support and development, and giving feedback on testing and quality assurance as well.
I’ll be working on updating tejasconsulting.com to better reflect what I’m doing now. I’ve neglected testingfaqs.org a bit, but I do plan to keep it alive and well.
After 16 years as a tester, it was hard to decide to shift to a development role. But I’m really enjoying the technology I’m working on, using Perl and Linux on a complex network topology. I’ll keep you posted.
