Hello, my name is Drake Vidkjer and welcome to my homepage! Here you can find information about me, including classwork and projects I have worked on and built; as well as my resume, hobbies, and links to external sites such as LinkedIn and Github. This information can be found in the navigation bar above and is talked about briefly on this page.
I am currently an R&D software engineer at HP Inc. working on software for use in supplies production. I recently graduated from Oregon State University, where I received my B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a Minor in Computer Science. My area of focus in the field of Electrical Engineering tended towards embedded systems during my time at OSU. I have taken multiple classes that fit in this region including Microcontroller System Design, and Sensors. More of this information can be found on my resume. During my undergraduate studies, I also worked as a student support technician for the university's College of Business; fulfilling many roles from directly helping professors and students, to infrastructure maintenance and design. Working for the College of Business gave me invaluable skills and knowledge of working in a large business.
Working in IT has also been something very enjoyable for me; as it is one of my many hobbies. More about my other hobbies can be read about on my hobbies page, linked at the top. You can also keep up with what I'm doing by looking at the blog page which I use to relay outages and events related to all the things that I self-host. This page is also linked above in the navigation bar.
