When others get a red sports car for their midlife crisis, I went back to school to get my PhD… WHILE WORKING FULL TIME!!... If that doesn’t say that I am hard working, I don’t know what does. My strengths include the breadth I’ve developed over my career. I've run the gamut from theoretical models, to decision making algorithms, to testing COTS products. All the while, I like to get my hands dirty with DOING things such as climbing into the bucket truck to mount antennas. Extending from theory to deployment gives me an insight into trouble shooting that many traditional engineers lack. Actually, I have a talent for breaking anything. I’m a firm believer that you never really know if something is working until you can break it and fix it. I believe this varied experience has also given me the insight that drives technical creativity. I see connections between raw components that transforms them into something special. Today’s technologies, such as 4G LTE and the advancements that may disrupt wireless communications, such as cognitive radio and spectrum sharing will require the skills I have. Much of my work in decision making architectures ties to techniques in data science such as similarity metrics, and predictive models based on empirical data. Blue sky creativity is nice, but it takes a special kind of creativity when bounded by the constraints of hardware limitations and standards bodies. I am adept at putting together the raw materials available in systems to come up with better ways to solve problems.
