Technical Resume

Charles Curley

Assets

I have spent about 40 years in Internet applications, real time, data acquisition, embedded processors, and process control software, technical writing, and software tools for such applications. I have management experience as a hiring manager, software technical lead and in the film industry. I have excellent communications skills, including teaching, public speaking and writing, ranging from general and corporate to utter nerdspeak. My varied background and interests support my very flexible work style.
