Bio
Larry T.
I've worked with Jim on two projects to-date. His wide ranging skill set includes electronics design, implementation, and production, as well as system architecture, design, and implementation at the software and firmware levels. Jim works hard to fully satisfy the design requirements and deliver on time. I have found him very easy to work with and he has the high ethical standards that are so important.
Chris Garvey
Jim was one of the only people that I could find in the entire Metro Atlanta Area that could help us navigate and understand the electrical engineering challenges that were facing us on several difficult projects. Jim was also able reverse was engineer any project no matter how complex that we gave him. Jim is one of a kind and he will be able to help you. I highly recommend him for any size project.
Dan Bragg
