Biography
Paddock lives and works near Franklin in northwestern Pennsylvania. He is an American Society for Quality (ASQ) Certified Software Quality Engineer, and works in analog and digital hardware design, low-power system design, and embedded software. He operates the consulting practice The Designer-III Company, through which he designs and programs embedded system hardware and software for demanding environments, and reviews technical and design documentation for United States government agencies and commercial publishers.
Much of his engineering career has involved instrumentation intended for harsh industrial settings, in particular underground coal mining. He has also worked in the medical device field.
Work
Paddock was a co-author, with John J. Sammarco, Edward F. Fries and Vijia K. Karra, of the review A Technology Review of Smart Sensors with Wireless Networks for Applications in Hazardous Work Environments, published by the Mining Program of the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). His related work on wearable smart sensors was likewise released through CDC/NIOSH.
He is credited in the documentation of the µC/OS-II real-time operating system and in the book Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets. In 1997 the editor of Circuit Cellar magazine named him among a small group of contributors recognized for consistently providing detailed technical answers to readers' questions over the magazine's first decade.
Outside of his contract engineering work, Paddock maintains a long-running interest in software safety and requirements management, and he has been a public advocate on medical-safety issues, including awareness of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and the adverse effects of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, testifying at a U.S. Food and Drug Administration hearing on the latter subject in November 2015.
