Paul Kerchen

Paul Kerchen has been writing software professionally for over 25 years, using whatever was at hand to develop computer games, driving simulators, in-vehicle navigation systems, and, most recently, in-vehicle infotainment systems. While C/C++ has been his primary workhorse, Python has been his tool-of-choice when it comes to testing, automation, and all manner of other tasks. For fun, Paul devises useful electronic gadgets, mentors for FIRST Robotics Team 4961, makes moderately-attractive-but-functional furniture, and has logged a few miles in the saddle of his mountain bike.
