I am currently Sr. Director of Digital Design at Suvolta, Inc, responsible for developing and taping out full custom chips SOCs that include ARM processors, custom SRAMs, and analog circuits. I drive everything from design methodology and infrastructure through microarchitecture, rtl, physical implementation, and silicon validation.In the past, as an Associate Technical Director, I led the custom circuit design team in developing full-custom data paths and memory circuits using static and dynamic circuit styles, and was responsible for driving backend timing and physical design for the semi-custom microprocessor designs in Broadcom's Embedded Processor Group. I contributed to the design of a number of custom and semi-custom microprocessors, including Intel Pentium II processor, Itanium (Merced) processor, Sibyte 1125, 1250, 1280/1480 processors and SOCs, and Broadcom internal processors in circuit design, rtl design, design methodology and CAD development, silicon debug and design validation, and project planning.Specialties: Custom circuit design for microprocessor applicationsDesign infrastructure and methodologyGood overall knowledge and hands-on experience in circuit design, CAD, rtl, and microarchitecture

Listed skills include Soc, Static Timing Analysis, Ic, Eda, and 26 others.
