Helping LabVIEW teams perform at their best

I help software developers be more effective and find more joy in their work through discovering better practices. I help them connect their work to business objectives and better communicate the value they produce.

William Richards

GLA Summit Organizer, ADAS Validation System Design Engineer at NI

William joined the LabVIEW community a decade ago as part of the NI Applications Engineering team, and recently rejoined Emerson's solutions engineering team. He loves to see LabVIEW solving interesting problems, and has applied it to build lasers for saving puppies, test rocket engines, and now tricks cars into believing VR scenarios. He currently lives in Austin, TX with his wife (and fellow engineer, car nerd, and salsa dancer) Faranak.

Vijayanth Reddy Kandukuri

Engineer at ARAV Systems, Research Scholar at Indian Institute of Science

I was introduced to LabVIEW over a decade and a half ago and am currently a LabVIEW Champion and a CLD. For someone who never spoke in graphic terms, I sure took to this "graphic language" in no time! By day, I work full-time at ARAV Systems with LabVIEW and TestStand. By night, I continue to tinker with LabVIEW and actively engage with the awesome community of fellow LabVIEW developers. Over 15 years of doing LabVIEW and I am still discovering new exciting things about it!
