I graduated from the University of Texas At Austin with a Chemical Engineering degree. My first job at a startup company introduced me to programming and the G language. I was hooked almost instantly. LabVIEW made programming discoverable, and the IDE seemed to encourage not hinder my creativity Shortly thereafter I found myself in the Applications Engineering (AE) department at National Instruments. After almost 3 years in AE, I began my professional career as a G developer in the DAQ R&D team. My knowledge of software engineering grew as I owned products such as the DAQ Assistant. Not only did I owned the products, but also the infrastructure necessary to create the products. Infrastructures such as build processes, auto test suites, auto documentation, and localization.
I have a passion for technology, teamwork, and mentorship. In my 20+ year career, I've employed all three in the context of using LabVIEW to create applications and engaging with the LabVIEW community. I first started my career at National Instruments in Applications Engineering, then Software Development in DAQ R&D (where I got my '''[http://bit.ly/ChrisCilino_CLABadge CLA in 2014]'''), and then finally in LabVIEW marketing where I owned programs such as the LabVIEW Champions. I spent the next three years at Cirrus Logic as the LabVIEW Framework architect.
