Seeking Opportunities

I am currently looking for new opportunities (direct or freelance) where I can grow, develop, and contribute to the success of a company. I can determine ways to improve performance, speed, and code usability to help a company expand their software development profit margin. I am fluent in Visual Studio (C#), Java, Azure DevOps (VSTS), Café Duet, NetLinx Studio, SIMPL Windows, Photoshop and AMX – Biamp – Crestron applications. Having programmed so many different types of AMX and Crestron systems I understand the need for a control system that is easy to use, requires minimum user training and one that works correctly every time it is used.

 Examples

  • Crestron SIMPL# Pro (C# / Visual Studio) IP client framework Example
  • www.michaelhaynes.me/examples
  • https://youtu.be/ltizhpj6HIQ
  • Touch Panel Example

    The IP client example is a complete solution that can be used to connect IP devices. This is an open source project and the beta version does not support SSH. The client wrapper features custom console commands and a auto reconnect function. The client wrapper has an ID property that gets set when the object gets initialized. This allows the same code to control multiple IP devices and the ability to debug them individually. Also, when the project code creates an object of the IP client, that object can subscribe to the events and this should allow for quick programming. But, if modifications to the IP client wrapper is needed, then the full source code (with documentation) is available on the download link – Microsoft Visual Studio build solution. The Solution file needs to be re-compiled in Visual Studio (Crestron C# plugin) because the Crestron certificates and dll files has been removed from the solution folder.

Recommendations

Michael Haynes is a professional and very knowledgeable of his trade. In the cases whereby I recommended that integration’s, needing programming support, contact Michael; they did and were impressed with his product and service. Michael brings a “can do” and creative view to projects

Michael D. Frank, CTS

Sales Development Director – Eastern North America at Biamp Systems

Michael was recommended to me from our HQ as a member of AMX’s Valued Independent Programmer scheme.  

I required not only a skilled AMX programmer but one with site experience who could operate and deliver within a diverse and challenging environment. It’s takes courage and confidence to take on a project like this on the opposite side of the globe both geographically and culturally. 

Michael accepted the challenge himself and committed on short notice. 

Exposure to large scale, highly integrated projects like this demand the highest levels of experience and skills in our industry and being part of them, takes one out of their comfort zone and contributes invaluably on many levels. Michael has exposed himself at this level and proven that he can stand beside the best AMX programmers around the world. 

During his short spell with our team, Michael demonstrated diverse knowledge of integrated AV systems and their components, programming experience which transcended outside of just AV systems to other systems like mobile devices and tablets, and was acutely focused on his delivery responsibilities. As experienced as he already was before the project, Michael took away some valuable experience which no doubt contributed to his skill sets. 

I highly recommend Michael for all levels of integrated AV programming which require diverse experience.

Adrian Jaros
Technical Manager at AMX

Michael Haynes worked as the primary control-system programmer on an extensive and detailed Crestron programming project which I managed. The project involved controlling over 25 audio inputs and output zones and a dozen different video sources also with multiple output zones. The system included integrated VoIP telecommunications integration and SIP video conference system integration with multiple video streams. The integrated control system also managed room lighting with multiple zones, motorized window shades, and articulated arms for positioning video monitors.

Michael quickly grasped the details and complexities of the system and professionally produced control-system code with an easy-to-understand user interface for non-technical users.

I confidently recommend Michael for Crestron and AMX programming projects.

  • Two words to describe Michael are character and integrity. In reality these two subjects, or three subjects when considering Michael, go hand and hand. Without integrity one is not apt to be faithful in ones efforts and faithfulness is generally a manifestation of integrity. An individual’s words are no greater than the character or integrity he possess, and with Michael his word is his bond. He delivers in what he says and what he does. The consummate professional how thinks before he acts. Oh, and he is a darn good engineer….that’s the bonus.

    Michael Haynes is an upstanding and excellent Software Programmer. I have had the honor of working with him briefly on a major contract in the District. He supplied advanced industry knowledge that helped protect our company from predator Programming companies. His experience and overall knowledge of the industry has help elevate my thinking about how to move forward in technologies that require software programming.

    He thinks for the future. Way ahead of the curve.

    Michael is a dedicated programmer. I first met Michael at masters class during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. We had both flown in for the class the weekend before. We were notified Sunday the 28th, that class was canceled but was to late to get a flight home. We were stuck there for the duration. We each had a power outlet in our hotel room that would keep our laptops charged.

    We held our own Masters Class, we were able to share knowledge with each other and compare notes. We made the best of the situation, and we have met up at Masters each year since.

    Michael has some great insight in to programming techniques and procedures and isn’t afraid to push the envelope of what a system can do. He gets very dedicated to what he is doing

    Darren Yeager, Crestron Gold Master Programmer with 24+ years experience
