Design, implement, and maintain Intel’s RDMA networking drivers and infrastructure applications supporting Smart NIC (SNIC), Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU), and RDMA NIC (RNIC) devices (10G – 200G).• Linux: Add support for the latest RDMA capable devices and features for irdma. Collaborate with customers on hot issues for pre/post production. Bug fixes, maintenance, resolution for security issue, including: CVE-2023-25775.• Embedded/IPU: Add RDMA control plane capabilities. Low level APIs (C) to support high level DPU apps.• Windows: RDMA dev lead for icea, scea, i40eb, iavf production drivers. Support customer/cert level issues.• Assist architecture team across SW, FW, and HW to enable RDMA in future products and to drive system architectural changes to resolve critical issues. Collaborate with customers to drive innovations.• Add QOS and Congestion Control capabilities for ROCEv2 and Falcon.• Debug HW/FW level issues with PCIe and Ethernet Analyzers and drive SW/FW workarounds.

Wireless connectivity SoC integration validation lead for Intel’s low power, small form factor SoCs. • System integration verification for Wi-Fi. Content developed for both pre/post-si environments includes drivers and test firmware for bare-metal environments (Veloce) targeting: PCIe/IOSF, UART, power management (PM).• Debug using Python to collect FW messaging, telemetry, and signal traces using JTAG and LAs.• Designed automated test content and test benches to validate Wi-Fi in the device’s native Android environment.• Lead the connectivity System Integration Validation working group across the organization. Help prepare/sharing of validation collateral, and standardize execution environment.

Responsible for the development and support of a bare-metal testing environment that enabled hardware engineers to create validation content for Intel’s latest SoC/CPU products.• Consolidated existing virtual and DMA addressable memory management APIs (C), including support for: page tables, caching, segment tables, and concurrency/multi-threading.• Bring-up the next generation of validation tools focused on pre-silicon content verification using LLVM to create highly optimized content with focus on compile-time semantic and back-end optimizations (clang, ld, ELF).• Added telemetry APIs using performance monitor counters to provide a feedback loop for content developers.• SW/HW debug: concurrency/race-conditions, power, interrupt, memory/paging, and security.• Bring-up the team’s first continuous integration (CI) environment using TeamCity and git/Gerrit. Includes feedback for: compilation, testing (gTest, LLVM integration test), code coverage (Bullseye).

Washington, Dc, Us

Responsible for the welfare and professional development of Marines that lead to their promotion.• Managed field generators including their operation, maintenance, and repair for combat readiness.• Trained/mentored junior Marines to improve their electrical repair knowledge, and triage of failed generators.
