Hello, I'm Bruce Montgomery. Welcome to this introduction to the instructor presentation, for Embedded Interface Design. In this brief recording, I'll review my academic and professional history, hopefully giving you a better idea of what to expect from me in the Embedded Interface Design class. My academic background starts at the University of Florida, go Gators. Where I received my Bachelor's in engineering, focused on computer science. A few years later, I worked to a Master's in math. Mostly statistics with some computer science. At what was then Trenton State College in New Jersey, now it's known as the College of New Jersey. My Doctorates from Nova Southeastern in Ft.Lauderdale, Florida, where my dissertation research looked at usability methods for discrete event simulations. There's a link included in the references if, you'd like to take a look. Not long after my PhD, I also became a certified Project Management Professional. Currently, I'm a lecturer in CU Boulder's Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering Department. I developed the Embedded Interface Design class, for the graduate Embedded Systems programme. And I've taught it three times while working on this version of the class. I also teach on Object Oriented Analysis Design class for the computer science department, which focuses on object oriented principles and patterns. I tried to stay connected to topics of interest, including recent network in statistics courses on Coursera in classes in IoT Device Hacking, and Linux systems strengthening, at the recent Black Hat and DefCon cyber security conferences. My professional roles have largely been in software development, with a little bit of project management. Over the last 20 years, I've been involved in development of embedded systems and devices at Edwards and Evannex, where I've been able to apply some of my doctoral usability work and learn more about connected devices, the IoT and cloud based systems. You can find me fairly easily on LinkedIn for more information. Although I teach in the electrical engineering department and I'm really not an electrical engineer, I tend to focus on software development, system integration techniques, and applying the best tools and platforms to make rapid system and device prototypes. I'm not the person to talk to you for electronics hardware questions, but I do know some folks that can help. One other thing to mention, I try to follow a set of principles called Servant Leadership, which balances the needs of my reports, my peers, my leaders and my business. And my goal is to serve the growth of those people and the organizations I work with. In my role as an instructor, this means serving the needs of my students. I hope I can help you reach your goals, through our work together in this specialization and its courses. So, welcome to Embedded Interface Design. And whether you take all our part of the offered classwork, I hope you enjoy it. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.
