Welcome to another episode of Develomentor. Today's guest is Arun Ganesan

Arun Ganesan is an Embedded Systems Engineer at Ford Motor Company.\\xa0

Arun obtained his Bachelor\\u2019s and Master\\u2019s in Electrical Engineering from the University of Arizona. He then started working at Ford Motor Co. as an Analytical Programmer due to his knowledge in Matlab programming.\\xa0

Arun started writing Matlab scripts for durability analysis which then expanded to systems level analysis. At that point he jumped to being Systems Engineer. Arun continued with Matlab programming as well as C# programming \\u2013 this is where he got exposed to Embedded Systems.\\xa0

Episode Summary

\\u201cWhen I was small, I would always tinker around with electronics and take things apart and put them back until I got yelled at for doing things like that. That was my interest. When I was 17, My dad and I had a talk and he said, Why not electric engineering?\\u201d

\\u201cDigital design is designing the logic within a CPU. You\\u2019re always working on the same framework. The same set of rules apply. In analog design, its more real-world based. You\\u2019re using circuits to solve real world problems.\\u201d

\\u201cThe code goes with the hardware. C# is just for the application on windows. The actual code that goes on the transmission or on the chip is C.\\u201d
