Met aggressive schedules in an entrepreneurial environment.Developed PodLink data acquisition software from requirements through prototype to satisfied customer. Fundamental to corporate strategy. Led DSPCon transition from Windows to Linux.C/Linux device driver provides FGPA register access, manages DMA. Multi-threaded object-oriented C++ firmware. Networked API abstracts hardware control. Optionally, simulates waveforms. Streams data via TCP in real-time. Java GUI for calibration, hardware debug and test, customer demo, and in-situ upgrade.DataFlex DAQ on Windows XP Embedded. Prototyped signal conditioning, C++ with Tcl/Tk GUI. Agile development for rapid hardware debug. Added "built-in test". Uses modular test engine, driven by XML definitions, adapts to hardware.Assorted short-term consulting projects.

Same employer (throughout spin-offs, mergers, and acquisitions) was known over time as LSI, Agere, Lucent Technologies, and AT&T Bell Laboratories.Designed, optimized, and supported software development and debug tools critical to selling millions of embedded DSPs and µCs for cellular terminals and base stations. Using our ICs and software tools, companies like Samsung and Nokia designed phones and cell towers. They do not buy chips without great tools!GUI debugger, on Linux and Windows, simulates core or full SOC using C++ models, or controls embedded target across TCP/IP via RPC proxy. RPC server accesses on-chip debug logic and BDM ROM across serial JTAG via Windows device driver. I worked extensively on each of these components.Models, debugger, and driver in C++. GUI and scripts in Tcl/Tk. JTAG control in Forth. Various tools in Java. Source control via Sablime/SCCS, then Subversion. Build and test using various shells. Most days I used multiple languages in tandem.First hired for my networking expertise, to port OEM debugger to new µC. Distributed debugger hosted on Windows or UNIX, networked to Windows server accessing embedded target. Next worked on DSP simulation modeling for hardware/software co-verification. Switched to hardware support, and device driver optimization. Eventually supported whole package. Along the way, produced user documentation, conducted training, optimized build and test, and coordinated off-shore development.

Filled progressively larger team leadership roles in software engineering. Started out enhancing proprietary message-based multi-tasking real-time OS for new hardware, using PL/M.Moved to data communications, using C. Led team of six in two year branch automation project crucial to $19M initiative yielding $185M. Created middleware used to access legacy mainframes via various terminal emulation protocols.Went on to networking, using C++. Developed tool suite integrating proprietary OS with DOS, Windows, and UNIX via NetBIOS and SMB. Led team of two in two year effort reengineering Ethernet and Token Ring interoperability. Optimized algorithms to boost performance by 400%. Developed NetBIOS-over-TCP protocol.
