Bio
Oliver Ridler
Lindsay is a very bright electronic engineer who gets down into the detail of every design he is involved in. When designing and reviewing he is more thorough than most engineers, and you can have confidence in a design that Lindsay has been involved with. At Cochlear Lindsay was responsible for electronic HW design and verification, and his previous experience in GHz RF was valuable. He also quickly and effectively cut some test firmware to help with verification of a uC design he had developed, showing that he is flexible and can be put to work on any aspect of a high technology development. There were also a number of occasions that Lindsay demonstrated professionalism in taking a tedious task to a successful completion. I am happy to highly recommend Lindsay.
Iain Templeton
Lindsay and I worked on the same project for a couple of years. I found Lindsay to be highly competent. Even though he was working as an ASIC engineer, he was motivated and capable enough to jump in to the software parts of our project and build some tools to help development and help out whenever necessary. I would not hesitate to work with Lindsay again and highly recommend him to anyone.
