Working with the first-party SoC firmware architecture team to develop in-house next-generation AI accelerators like the Maia 100. Working with several great colleagues to ensure we have a performant, reliable, available, serviceable firmware architecture to support our silicon programs, and make them available to customers. My specific focus is on the high performance internal network, transferring data between accelerators, handling reliable high performance communications.

Digital Systems Architect for the AR/XR/MR Organization* Modeling latency, throughput, and compute* Defining engineering requirements to meet product requirements* Selecting the right SoCs based on various product and engineering requirements* Modeling and optimizing our sensing, image processing, and display pipeline, especially across teams* Helping define requirements for custom silicon and software with other teams and vendors

Responsible for GNSS, Satellite, Line of Sight Radio, Cellular, and similar systems on the vehicle, as well as the cloud/edge interfaces to allow communication to and from the vehicle. Supported launch facility cellular internet connectivity. Responsible for communication security and encryption.

Developing system requirements and use-cases, evaluating and selecting sensor and compute technologies, and developing initial team and software stack for a high-performance fixed wing UAV

Responsible for GPS and Radio communications on an unmanned aircraft platform. Developing fault tolerant reliable real-time systems, including test development.

Continuing technical assistance and advisory role regarding custom silicon projects at Magic Leap

Leading a team of over 20 full time staff to develop a fully shippable platform, including factory test, failure-recovery, secure operation, and full driver stack and software framework on a highly complex real-time DSP system. Responsible for architecture-level decisions of software, and in planning of next-generation product line, including requirements for Linux kernel configuration, communication protocols, SoC integration, custom VLSI designs, vendor interactions, and overall product software functionality.

Defining and implementing linux kernel module interfaces. High performance embedded framework design and implementation, including hard timing constraints. Internal team support.

* Develop and maintain custom Linux kernel modules, featuring V4L2, PCIe, and more.* Develop and maintain user-space Linux applications interacting with the kernel in both C and C++* Write control code for Nios II soft-core processor on Altera platform. * Help update/debug Verilog on existing Altera-based system. * Write bring-up and user-side tooling for all firmware interfaces* Develop drivers and interfaces for various peripherals, ranging from I2C, SPI, EEPROMs, IMUs, temperature sensors, MIPI cameras, and more

I taught a number of courses across the computer engineering curriculum, from introductory courses on microcontroller programming to independent studies on PCB design. My primary interests are in real-time embedded systems and product development.

I did outside consulting work through the college. My work included full product development from the ground up, with software, hardware, enclosures, packaging, etc.

As the first computer engineering faculty at the college, I developed all computer engineering course materials, teaching a wide range of courses across the curriculum. I worked with the rest of our faculty to obtain ABET accreditation for the program at the earliest possible opportunity, and serve on the instructional resources committee in the faculty senate.
