# Chad Bohannan > Software Engineer Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/chadbohannan I like to spend my time working with brilliant people making incredible things. I began learning how to develop software through the University Nanosat program. Under the guidance of an engineer turned scientist I learned how to deconstruct complex problems so that they could be solved systematically. I left the lab having participated in the development of a unique embedded file system, a specialized job scheduling module, and an efficient packet structure for the radio communications link. As a professional I have developed desktop, android, and web applications across a variety of industries. My favorite parts of engineering are white-boarding and design review; connecting with technically minded people is rewarding and avoiding expensive flaws is satisfying. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Planet Jan 2022 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area Creating next-level APIs and support tooling for our most demanding customers. ### Software Engineer @ Farmer's Business Network, Inc.
