Bio
Todd Hayes
Roger is a detail oriented firmware design engineer. He mentored me in careful and thoughtful subsystem interface design. He also taught me debugging techniques that I still use today. He taught me how to perform thought experiments and to carefully design experiments to either prove or disprove theories. Through his careful application of the scientific method to problem solving he was extremely adept at solving some of our most difficult problems in a very timely manor.
Tom Rose
Roger worked with AvPro in the development of several experimental programs and deliverable products. His work met the two most important criteria for me. The reponse was timely and the software worked to achieve the goal we sought. He was always pleasant to work with and focused on solutions as part of a team.
