• Establish Lab X as one of the top AVB/network connectivity consulting companies in the industry by actively participating in IEEE AVB/Ethernet standards development (IEEE 1722 & IEEE 1722.1) and the AVnu alliance. These activities over my tenure helped to brand Lab X as the company of choice for AVB/network connectivity protocol stacks and design services throughout the professional audio and video industry.• Public Speaking, authoring and presenting trade show courses and public presentations on behalf of the AVnu alliance to educate the markets on AVB. These presentations were vital in articulating to the marketing, business communities why AVB is important, and how it would help their products be more competitive in their respective marketplace. • Driving the development of IEEE 1722.1 inside Lab X, designing the protocol implementation and developing a majority of it. All code written in C++, running on both Linux (uClinux) and Analog Devices DSP operating system (VDK). Implementation currently available on Xilinx Microblaze softcore processors and Analog Devices BlackFin (BF518) DSPs. Developed implementations were tested via regular participation in AVnu sponsored plug-fests, as well as rolling out the new features out to current projects within Lab X.• A member of the Lab X executive management team, representing the company's business development interests with respect to strategic planning, helping to guide where the company should focus to maximize customer satisfaction and future client growth. • Driving the development of Quality Assurance practices at Lab X technologies to validate and test newly developed Lab X IP. This included development of formal test procedures, rolling out formal test management tools (Test Link) and development of a formal unit testing framework utilizing Google's Gtest (Unit Test Framework).

• Lab X representative to the AVnu alliance (http://www.avnu.org), serving in the Technical Working Group (TWG). Duties included advising AVnu on the development of AVnu certification and interoperability test plans that are currently being used for AVnu certification of AVB endpoints and switches. Regular participation in AVnu sponsored plug-fests, where AVB protocol implementations were tested and validated. • Software/firmware protocol development, designed and implemented 802.1Qat (Stream Reservation protocol) for Lab X Audio Video Bridging (AVB) protocol stack. This required working from draft version of standard, interfacing with the standards body to provide feedback as well as get clarifications on how the protocol was supposed to work. Participation in interoporability testing with fellow companies in the AVB ecosystem that were developing AVB components at the same time. • Software/Firmware Development, designed and implemented a number of key firmware components for Lab X design services customers, including the firmware for the myMix personal mixer (http://www.mymixaudio.com).
