Answer 1

I am a control systems engineer with 16 years of experience designing and building large systems using LabVIEW in Albuquerque NM  and working currently for TEAM Technologies Inc. almost 15 years.
I hold a Master Degree in Space Power Systems graduated from Moscow Aerospace University.
I invented and implemented a message-driven and scripting controlled LabVIEW architecture which I presented couple times at NIWeeks, published in LTR, and local NI and ALVIN seminars. This architecture I was successfully used to develop projects for SNL (National Lab), WSTF (NASA), EMCORE, and etc. firms and organizations.
My expertise areas are: 1) Mechanical Engineering; 2) High Temperature Energy Converters; 3) Thermodynamics 4) Digital and Analog Electronics; 5) Programming: LabVIEW,  C, embedded microprocessors (ARM, Cortex); Distributed hard real-time control with PXI and Compact RIO instrumentation.
I have published 45 scientific papers and have six patents.
I am NOT a certified NI LabVIEW programmer, because I believe that scientists and engineers has to have Degree Diploma only.
LabVIEW is just a programming tool nothing more.

Youri Djachiachvili
Aerospace Engineer.
