• Developed software tools in C++ that provided a graphical interface for engineers to develop OSDs. These tools compiled the designs into C/Assembly firmware code at the application level
• Architected the firmware level OSD libraries and drivers responsible for programming the hardware ASIC registers to render the user interfaces. The libraries implemented the open source DirectFB and Microwindows drivers
• Developed methods for programming Flash ROMs using JTAG and I2C. Responsible for implementing high speed flash drivers to program devices with large code base
• Designed and implemented the OSD controller to power LCD screens in client products
• Wrote TCL scripts for converting MS-WORD Register Specification documents into VHDL code
• Performed board level debugging and ASIC performance testing for varying process corners

• The worldwide wiki Condo Database for your mobile device.

• Implemented an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter for a behavioral model Delay-Lock-Loop (DLL), to mimic a custom analog block during parallel development
• Performed back-annotated standard delay format (SDF) simulations in Verilog to verify asynchronous circuit timing functionality

• Designed and implemented a DDR SDRAM memory controller in VHDL for a System-on-Chip, responsible for transferring Data, Data Strobe, and memory clock between the chip and external memory modules
• Coded state machine RTL for Data Strobe preamble detection, phase detectors for read data timing calibration into master clock domain, and Data Valid generation electronics during read operation
• Used synchronous and asynchronous design methodology to automate selection of synchronization clocks for cross clock domains, with adjustment circuitry for varying temperature and propagation delay
• Implemented an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter for a behavioral model Delay-Lock-Loop (DLL), to mimic a custom analog block during parallel development
• Performed back-annotated standard delay format (SDF) simulations in Verilog to verify asynchronous circuit timing functionality
• Developed VHDL testbenches with 30+ test cases for Read Data Capture Controller, including timing scenarios such as Clock/Data skew, CAS Latency, transmission line delays, Delay Lock Loop (DLL) convergence

• Developed IBIS models for high-speed output drivers to conceal Intellectual Property from customers
• Created test schematics in HSPICE for simulations on output pads to verify IBIS validity
• Wrote TCL scripts for converting MS-WORD Register Specification documents into VHDL code for host interface
• Assisted in board level debugging, and performance testing for varying process corners
• Extensive hands-on lab work, reading schematics, soldering, oscilloscope and logic analyzer measurements
• Researched various bus routing/termination schemes for high-speed signals, including implementation details of Stub Series Terminated Logic (JEDEC standard JESD8-9) to maintain off-ship signal integrity

• Led a team of developers in the implementation of a Java client/server application with Servlets, for the maintenance of projects using J2EE
• Overhauled database project repository system, integration with SQL and JDBC
• Formulated small application architecture, maintaining end-to-end development lifecycle
• Orchestrated an intensive deployment and training schedule for 50+ developers
• Defined comprehensive test specifications and documented system for CMM level 3
• Developed a Java application using JDK & Swing classes for legacy APL systems
