I go by “Q” for both the Star Trek and the James Bond references. First, by being a Trekkie and my brother’s calling me “Q”. Second, from my first job after college making testing gizmos to make testing technician’s jobs easier and tests more reliable.

Q Software Innovations, LLC was founded August 2011 with the goal to help my customers accomplish their goals, to put forth new ideas, and bring about the best solution to their needs.

I graduated from Utah State University in 2006 with a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, I have a vast array of work place experience. From stress/strain analysis, composite material design, aerodynamics, space satellite systems, solid rocket propellant mechanical properties and aging studies to LabVIEW, VBA, SQL, FORTRAN application development. I am part Mechanical Engineer and part Computer Scientist.

I have been programming in LabVIEW since 2007 and have been certified with National Instruments as a Certified LabVIEW Architect and as a Alliance Partner. In 2018 I was made a LabVIEW Champion.
