I’ve known for some time that Devin’s the most brilliant man in the world. And, it looks like his co-workers are getting the message, too. Congratulations, my love! Check out the high praises listed below from Devin’s manager:

“Devin started his career at NI in 2001 in the MAX group, where he worked on the MAX configuration database known as MXS and other MAX components such as Portable Configuration, Remote System Configuration, and MAX installers.

Devin became the lead MXS developer in late 2002, taking over the reigns of this core NI technology during the MAX 3.0 development cycle. Over the next four years Devin led the MXS team to deliver key features for MAX clients and to improve the scalability, robustness, and performance of MXS. Much of this was to enable driver groups to leverage their existing configuration investment in MXS in new ways and on new platforms. For example, Devin extended MXS to enable off-line driver configuration in LabVIEW Project, and he played a major role in porting MXS for the Linux releases of NI-DAQmx and Modular Instruments drivers. He later led the VxWorks port of MXS for PowerPC based NI PACs.

Devin has proven himself to be an effective mentor and cross-group collaborator. He is enthusiastic and ready to help other developers when they need assistance, taking the time to share his expertise or to jump right in and help drive the right solution. He has repeatedly been praised by people around R&D saying that he provided time-critical assistance to solve a development issue or to resolve a customer support problem.

Earlier this year Devin transferred to the LabVIEW group where he brings his considerable talents to the Blueprint and System Diagram initiatives.

Please join with me in congratulating Devin on his past accomplishments, his promotion and his strong commitment to NI R&D.”
