Bio
Jesse Laird
Darin is a software developing machine. I worked with him on several software projects, and frequently worked with him to resolve software problems in our respective projects. I've worked with many engineers that I could compliment on the quality of their work, the speed with which they develop software, their background and knowledge, or their ability to work with others on a team. But Darin excels in all of these areas. While completing his own projects in record time, he found time to develop and teach an introductory course in C# programming. Darin then served as a mentor as we began developing our own C# projects and working with libraries that he created. In every situation, he was an outstanding teacher and demonstrated an encyclopedic knowledge of the language and good development practice. On the occasions where he had to learn a new protocol (adding SNMP support, communicating with cellular modems, or interfacing SD cards, as examples), Darin learned quickly, took excellent notes, and often shared a summary of this with the team. He kept a mental "toolbox" of skills and techniques for developing/troubleshooting, and was able to quickly develop new software or hardware tools as needed for new applications. On top of this, Darin has a fantastic personality, a great sense of humor and is able to balance this against a strong work ethic. He is a joy to have as a teammate, and at the same time can lock down when needed to solve a problem or meet a tight deadline. He is one of the best. Of course, he has my highest recommendation.

Darin and I worked together on my first project while at HP. Darin is easily the MOST friendly person I have ever worked with. Darin also has a tremendous reputation as a prolific deliverer of results. He is very sharp, very adept. All this adds up to a great co-worker and a great employee. I HIGHLY recommend Darin.

Aug 2012 - Jun 2016
Ballard Power purchased the IdaTech division I was working in, so I was transferred to the new company. At Ballard Fuel Cell Systems, I worked on core system firmware, as well as C#/.NET/WPF applications used by customers to remotely connect to our systems worldwide. I also developed a C based web server application that runs on a small industrial Linux module (straight C, self-contained, no libraries, no Apache, no dependencies, built from the ground up). The application allows remote diagnostics, I/O manipulation, firmware updating, data logging, and the ability to monitor and modify the operation of fuel cell buses all over the world. Accomplishments include: • Developed a dynamic web server that combines the use of HTML files along with encoded function calls to provide dynamic web content (Linux/C/HTML/CSS/JavaScript) • Developed standardized library for developing WPF applications to give them a standard look and feel (C#/WPF) • Developed customer application for upgrading system firmware (C#/WPF) • Developed engineering application for communicating with our fuel cell systems (C#/WPF) • Developed firmware for custom cellular modem, including implementation of PPP Protocol (C) Show less

Sep 2005 - Feb 2010
Lead developer for the 2nd generation of the HP Tool Control Framework, taking it from a C++/MFC design to a C#/.NET design. Also developed many innovative tools, such as a graphic State Diagram to C# code conversion tool, allowing developers to graphically modify their C# state machine code. This was built as a plug-in to Microsoft Visual Studio.

Aug 1997 - Sep 2005
Worked with a team of software developers responsible for creating a reusable software control framework for manufacturing tools. At its peak it was running on over 150 tools worldwide involved in the production of InkJet cartridges. I eventually became the lead developer for this framework, as well as the main trainer. Worked with vendors and other HP facilities on teaching the use of the software control framework (Corvallis, San Diego, Ireland, Singapore, Puerto Rico). Also wrote countless other machine applications using this framework. Show less

Mar 1995 - Jul 1997
Hired out of college to work as an Electrical Engineer at Hewlett-Packard's Corvallis site. Worked on electrical and software projects, as well as manufacturing tool acquisition. Developed a method of electrically testing for ink shortages in InkJet cartridges, as well as the development of tools designed to help in InkJet cartrige manufacturing. I then became the primary software developer for the "Endcap" machine, which encapsulates the exposed leads from the flexible circuit to the InkJet cartrige head within a bead of epoxy. This required both C++ and Vision System skills. Show less
