Dallas, Texas

Overview: We have created several TI 1st and Industry 1st innovative products at an accelerated rate. These markets were previously unaddressed by TI, thereby rapidly growing and diversifying the business. Several new investment areas have now become TI level priority• Responsible for DAC Product Line P&L – Built industry’s broadest DAC portfolio and established TI as a leader• Spearheading new product portfolio for the rapidly expanding semiconductor test market – PMU, DPS and Pin electronics• With the fast growth of cloud and AI, created a new Optical Networking AMC portfolio that enables the next generation of optical communication equipment in the smallest size, power, and cost. • Expanded FA&C portfolio, with Universal IO as the latest addition, to allow a much wider selection based on cost, size, and power to aptly meet customer’s varying needs – these products integrate precision DACs, V/I drive amplifiers, ADCs, sensing, and reference along with fault management capabilities for PLCs and sensor transmitters applications• Rich portfolio of PA biasing ASSPs for Wireless Infrastructure market - integrated DACs, ADCs, references, control state machines, and sensing • We created a new product category of smart DACs and smart Analog Front Ends (AFE’s) that simplify analog system design by offering programmability without software. We released DAC53701 (Gen1), AFE539A4 (Gen2 – TEC control), and are now working on Gen3 to serve new end equipments

Dallas

Overview: Having created multiple businesses from scratch in previous R&D leadership roles, moved to a business role in the audio product line to grow an existing business and identify avenues for new product category growth• Diversified smart amplifier business across a broad customer base including cell phones, laptops, tablets, and IoT applications; these products get used for audio and haptics applications• Partnered with TI's advanced R&D team – Kilby Labs, particularly Dave McGee – to bring ultrasonic lens cleaning technology to the business unit; this was previously a functioning prototype but seemingly too big an investment to commit to. We came up with a viable business case, secured the necessary investment, and created the first-generation product• Collaborated with TI advanced R&D team – Kilby Labs – to create smallest low power audio DAC for broad applications

Dallas/Fort Worth Area

Overview: As Thrust manager, was entrusted with taking the disruptive and innovative 80 GHz CMOS radar technology from Kilby Labs and creating a viable product line with its own P&L. This now has expanded into a business unit in TI• While this business initially had no revenue, it was still structured as a separate P&L and I overlooked the investment to maximize business prospects with the smallest investment• Led the 1st generation product portfolio definition. Then secured investment approval, built a fully functional development team capable of releasing the product to market and supporting customers ramp, and established strategic partnerships with key customers • The team went on to create the first product-quality single-chip CMOS radar, engage several key customers and win TI’s prestigious Kilby Award for the most Innovative product of the year• In parallel, opportunistically lay the foundation for single chip industrial radar portfolio

Bangalore

Overview: With the IoT buzzword gaining popularity, joined TI to lead this brand new investment area called WiFi SimpleLink to launch a family of disruptive and extremely easy-to-use product offerings. This is a product line at TI now• Started exploring what to do with a team of just 2 people. Given extremely limited resources, we used any means necessary and successfully created the first test chip • Got investment approval to create the first product portfolio – CC3100 and CC3200• Built a small, very passionate team from scratch that took the challenge of creating CC3100 (which included WiFi RF, baseband, RF MCU, WiFi MAC&PHY, and a TCP/IP networking processor) and CC3200 (that integrated MCU to CC3100 on the same chip)• Initiated an alliance with another MCU business unit at TI to design MCU for CC3200, offering them some of our analog IPs in return. This was done as an engineer-to-engineer partnership with no involvement or oversight from upper management• Over a 4-year journey, we evolved from a sketch of a concept to product-family launch for the emerging IoT market• Before these products, integrating WiFi for customers meant large teams working on GHz processors. Our new low-power WiFi networking products, working with the cheapest microcontrollers, enabled years of battery life on alkaline batteries

Overview: Was hired to create the first full chip development from scratch at Qualcomm in Bangalore• Joined the fast-growing energetic team at Qualcomm Bangalore to lead their first core MSM chip design• As Design Manager, was responsible for product definition, execution, and taking it to volume ramp• It was the first 45nm device that went to mass production for the company. The product won large businesses at several leading phone manufacturers globally and laid the foundation for the thin modem business at Qualcomm• In parallel, led technology migration of an MDM device from 65 nm to 45 nm. This product beat the cost reduction targets by 10% and was a first-pass silicon success to volume ramp• This product and winning team taught me that good engineers find excellence in anything they do!!

Overview: Back when laptops used to discharge in less than an hour with WiFi on, we set our sights on creating low-cost ultra-low power WiFi for cellphones. It was a success and lay the foundation for broadened WiFI adoption and Nokia and Blackberry• Had dual role of R&D Manager and Program Manager for WiFi RF IP and its digital control subsystem• Led the development from the concept phase to successful customer sampling• This was an industry-leading product and went on to become one of the highest revenue-generating products in the business unit

Huntington Beach, Ca

Overview: Bell Labs created a seed team in Huntington Beach, California, far away from the Headquarters to create a first-generation chipset for Sirius satellite radio. I was part of this seed team and created 2 generations of products for Sirius• Product was successfully installed in cars after nationwide testing• Worked on various functions like digital design, memory design, prototyping, synthesis, timing closure, post-silicon debug, and product volume ramp

Overview: Part of the central R&D team, responsible for designing all types of memories across several platforms and technology nodes
