He is also the co-author of many magazine articles at a number of online magazines such as PD&D on the topic of learning, organization development and project management.
Rick Byrum
Rick Byrum has 30 years combined electronic product development experience ranging from industrial product design (14 years) to specialty automotive aftermarket product design (16 years). He is proficient in a range of embedded product development areas, from idea through to production, from switch-mode power supplies and signal conditioning, to embedded hardware and software. This includes reliable PCB designs, from current carrying capacity, to electromagnetic compatibility. His work can be found in large scale industrial control systems (globally), as well as custom vehicle racing applications.
Rick has rapid prototyping experience, that includes developing a network that supports rapid prototype needs of the product and project. He experiments (runs tests) with these prototypes as well as simulation, to develop a high-quality and reliable product through early exploration and experimentation of the product, as well as strong systems engineering applications. He is always thinking beyond the base product incarnation, considering anomalies from the external environment that could disrupt the system and the product. He has a track record of generating new product ideas, and bringing them to life, resulting in high quality and reliable products.
Fred Starkey
Mr. Starkey, an electronics hobbyist from a very early age, finished high school with an Indiana Radio & TV service license, courtesy of the local vocational school. He worked as a technician in audio repair shops, commercial audio & CATV installations, and campus television services, while earning his B.S. in Electronics and Computer Technology. videog ame repair.
He began his engineering career developing test program sets for linear automated test systems at Delco-Remy. Process failure analysis of the incoming product stream provided the opportunity for advancement into four new areas of expertise: engine controls, thick film modules, robotic assembly, and most importantly – environmental test. Later moving to Delco Electronics Division, Mr. Starkey continued test program set development with an emphasis on socket hardware development for radio mixer and receiver chip test. These assignments renewed and refreshed Mr. Starkey’s RF background, a skill that would prove crucial.
