Brandon Charles LeBlanc
PROFILE
Brandon Charles LeBlanc was born and raised outside of New Orleans Louisiana. Brandon went on to earn his BA from Louisiana State University in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Radio Frequency hardware design and Digital Signal Processing.
In early 2018 Brandon took successfully took on a contract Leviton to design a lighting control circuit capable of controlling/dimming any type of lighting load.
In late 2018 Brandon and his wife moved north to her childhood home of Wisconsin where he began working in the healthcare industry for General Electric Anesthesia and Respiratory Care division. Brandon contributed to the electrical team in the power electronics design. Additionally Brandon created drivers in the FPGA fabric to replace the processor heavy logic. These drivers expanded into the cybersecurity realm in which Brandon's skillset was forced to expand, leading him to set the stage for architecting the cybersecurity standard for the future of General Electric A.R.C devices.
In mid 2019 Brandon spent the majority of his time training the India and China Branches of General Electrics A.R.C division on the FPGA and cybersecurity implementations surrounding the companies new base platform.
In early 2020 Brandon took a position as a lead electrical engineer working for Extreme Engineering Solutions in Wisconsin. The company is a contract manufacturer that produces single board computers (SBCs), processor mezzanine modules, ruggedized extended temperature systems, networking I/O modules, embedded routers, Ethernet switches, Solid-State Storage drives, and development chassis. The work is predominantly for the defense sector and therefore sharing more than this snippet is prohibited.
Brandon is known by most as "Bubba" and spends his "free time" refamiliarizing himself with subjects he less frequently uses as well as getting up to speed with new niches in the fields of electrical and software engineering...such as web-development...In addition to that, Brandon designs and assembling circuits for consumer electronics applications for his wife and for other electronics enthusiasts. His favorite platforms to work with are the Microchip PIC32MX family, Espressif ESP32 family, and anything from Texas Instruments. His motto is "If I can buy it I can make it, but that only extends to electronics and wood based products...". Additionally, time is spent remodeling(rebuilding) his century old home in Wisconsin, as well as spending time with his wife of 10 years and two children.
