Allen C Smith

I am a creative system builder. I bring together advanced architecture, sound software engineering practices, and effective workflow techniques to deliver successful applications. I am a globally recognized innovator, adept at applying new concepts to reduce complexity and drive solutions. I inspire technical excellence in peers through example and mentorship.

I drove adoption of the Actor Framework by developing a complete developer tool suite, including automatic message generation, desktop execution trace toolkit support, and packed project library support. I wrote Actor-Oriented Design in LabVIEW, the official Actor Framework training course.

I modernized fire science research at Sandia National Laboratories by leading 5-person cross-functional team that developed, installed, tested, and commissioned the control software for the Thermal Test Complex. I designed the LabVIEW / TestStand architecture used on the operator stations and FieldPoint controllers. I developed the TestStand process model and operator interface, test sequences for 3 test cells, host and RT code for radiant heat tests and cooling, and host code for FieldPoint configuration and user validation.

My areas of expertise include:
- Certified LabVIEW Architect
- Certified LabVIEW Embedded Developer
- Certified TestStand Developer
- Actor Framework
- LabVIEW Object Oriented Programming
- VI Scripting
- Agile/Scrum Software Development

I am available for consulting engagements, and open to full time employment opportunities. Find out more at allencsmith149.workfolio.com.
