My name is Kevin Brennan. I have been a hardware/software development engineer since 1975. The majority of my work has been focused on mission critical hardware and software production. A core precept of my work is reliability, redundancy, and up-time optimization through rigorous analysis and testing frameworks for hardware & software systems. 3rd party certifications/audits are routinely provided through DNV, LLoyd’s, etc. for compliance certification for both hardware & software systems.
I provide services to the Industrial, Petrochemical, Medical, Nuclear, Subsea, and Defense industries. My recent work has been focused on real-time redundant mission control of subsea Oil & Gas assets, SIL 2-3 safety implementations, ISO standard 13628-6,7,8 compliance, API 17G.
