Dedoes Industries, Inc.

• Embedded Electronics and Software Engineer

  • Oct 2016 - Aug 2019

  My primary focus over the past 2 and a half years has been the refinement ACET machine user interface. (ACET) is an acronym and stands for Accurate Color Every Time. It is a machine that accurately measures out paint colors to a custom formula for an auto body shop, dictated by a PC based software package. Every aspect of the hardware and software had to be re-engineered, geared toward actual production of the machine. Also streamlining the software to give it an easier user experience. We now have several prototypes in operation in the US and Canada. Also designed an AC motor timer/controller with bluetooth interface and wireless control pad for auto body shop paint mixing application.
