Randall Elliott P.E.

Professional Summary:
30 years in the electronics industry, 18 years in primarily Electronic Engineering designing both in-house and OEM products from concept and invention through design and system integration into prototype and production. I am trained and experienced in High-Performance Teams, Kepner-Tregoe Investigation, and Project Leading.

IS/IT Involvement:
Along much of the way, I've been building PCs and networks. While in Engineering at Precision Interconnect in 1990, I rebuilt our old 286's into 386's and 486's. I had a hand in building the company's first network, a 10base-2 (BNC coax) based system running Novell on a 386. I designed several cable-test systems around the PC writing custom software to control TDRs and flex-test machines.

Operating Systems:

Windows 3.1, 95, 98SE, ME, NT4, XP, and Win2K

MS-DOS 3.1 to 6.22

Computer Systems:

IBM PC clones 8088 to Pentium 4 & Athlon XP (I’ve built about 30 over the years)

PC Clone Busses:

PCI, ISA, PC104, STD, STD-32

Specialties:
Doing stuff on the cheap!

Other Stuff: Alternative Energy Enthusiast, Small Engine Mechanic, Inventor, Multi-instrument Musician.

In Sum:
I've been engineering high-end high-tech products and in-house equipment for 20 years after being a technician for 12 years. I started professionally when I was 15. In 1972 I was building radios and test equipment with circuit boards that I etched myself. My first radio project was a crystal set I built in 1966. When I was four, I cut the cord on my record player. That started a running fascination with those little blue guys who were dancing across those school scissors with which I hacked through the cord.

I'm still fascinated...
