Chris Ring is a Software Engineering Manager at Texas Instruments. He possess expertise in soc, processors, arm, debugging, embedded software and 19 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I reported directly to Chris for 14+ years while working at Texas Instruments. Working for Chris has been the highlight of my 33-year career. He is intelligent, insightful, and proficient at solving problems. But most of all, he is a great manager. He provided his team with expert guidance and support, while shielding us from management dominance. I’ve watched him bring on entry level team members with care and guidance to help them learn and succeed, while being supportive as they ramp up. With experienced team members, he knows how to assign high-level tasks and provide needed resources while giving space and time to allow individual, self-motivated design and development. I enjoyed this relationship with Chris for many years. Over the years, we worked together on several projects: DSPLink, IPC, Cloud Infrastructure, Drivers, and IoT. We covered the spectrum of devices from heterogeneous multi-core devices for communication infrastructure (Keystone I, Keystone II) and automotive driver assistance (TDA2, TDA3), multi-media devices (OMAP3430, OMAP-L, DSP64+), to low-power MCU devices (TM4C12xx, MSP432xx) and IoT wireless SoCs (CC26xx, CC32xx, WL18xxMOD). We worked with several technologies including Embedded Linux, TI-RTOS, FreeRTOS, QNX, TrustedFirmware-M, Network, USB, HomeKit, POSIX, and EmbeddedRPC. Tools was a fundamental aspect of our day-to-day work environment: GCC, TI-ARM, CLANG LLV, IAR, VirtualBox, Git, and Make. In every instance, Chris was proficient in all these topics, always guiding me in the right direction, highlighting the important design considerations, and focusing my efforts to maximize customer satisfaction. I was amazed how he knew so much and was always on-point on every topic and customer issue. I highly recommend Chris as a team leader, technology lead, and proficient developer. On a more personal level, Chris is down to earth, easy going, enjoys sports, and is devoted to his family."
