Tracy Meade
Principal Software Engineer
Attica,MI
Summary
Complex problem-solver with analytical and driven mindset. Dedicated to achieving demanding development objectives according to tight schedules while producing impeccable code.
I am highly experienced in writing system code and API's in C/C++, as well as porting code to different operating systems. I have deep experience with refactoring existing code bases to make them more efficient, modular, and cross-platform capable. In recent years, I have broadened my skills into web-based technologies and languages. I have a varied industry background but have spent most of my career working with vehicle networking and diagnostic systems.
I regularly upgrade my knowledge and skills using many different online resources. I am currently working to build on my full-stack web development experience by learning React.js and other frameworks.
