I excel at (and love) finding simple solutions to difficult problems. I am able to find ways to squeeze out maximum performance in my software. Oftentimes, that doesn’t mean writing “tight code” but rather means taking a different overall approach to solving the problem. I also know when “fast enough” is good enough.Writing software in an engineering environment involves much more than just knowing the latest hot programming language and technical buzzwords. It means creating something that is testable, reliable, and maintainable (by somebody else!) – good engineering must account for the entire product lifecycle. It also means checking your ego at the door and being a team player, but not being afraid to push your ideas and viewpoints when you know you’re right.Specialties –• Embedded systems software / firmware• OS internals, device drivers, and programming tools• Hardware / software interaction and tradeoffs• Networking and data communications• SoC and ASIC verification and design• Software architect, individual contributor, project leader, and mentor• Master hands-on software designer and problem-solverTechnical skills –• Programming languages: C, C++, Assembly (various), Objective-C, Swift, Perl, Python, TCL, Verilog• CPUs: Intel X86, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, custom RISC CPUs, Motorola 68K• Technologies: Linux, Win32, Real-time, VxWorks, Bare metal, TCP/IP, Ethernet, ATM, QoS, Video, Audio, SOCs, IoT, git, CVS, JIRA, BitBucket
