Biography:
Hi, I’m Tom McQuillan, a chartered engineer specialising in LabVIEW software development.
I primarily work as a software engineer, creating microscopy software in LabVIEW. In addition, regularly teach LabVIEW courses across Europe as a Certified Professional Instructor for NI. This has led to my enthusiasm presenting at, and organising, international LabVIEW conferences. I also run my own LabVIEW YouTube channel – Tom’s LabVIEW Adventure.
My journey with LabVIEW started whilst working for a test and measurement company. This role included developing test systems using LabVIEW and NI hardware for the defence, aerospace and automotive industries.
During my studies at university, I worked for a software contractor, where I helped develop software frameworks and bespoke desktop and embedded software applications.
After graduating with a Masters’ degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering with distinction, my experience well equipped me for my role at NI, where I gained Certified LabVIEW Architect status, taught LabVIEW courses and supported customers creating LabVIEW applications. This led to my current role, writing software for the neuroscience industry.
