"Progress doesn't come from early risers -- progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do something." (Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973)As a boy, my father gave me the task of collecting wire bristles that were dropped to the bottom of the pool while cleaning. After a few dives, I had the idea to use a magnet to simplify the work. I look for more efficient ways of doing things. In my career, I use scripting, macros, and programming to create tools and methods to work more efficiently for timely results. As the go-to person in my team, I solve unique problems.Using debugging of electronics and statistical analysis in problem solving to validate new silicon designs, I reduce customer returns. I perform analog and digital characterization to improve yields and reduce test times.My scripts and tools support other product and test engineers in generating yield reports and reducing cycle times for test releases and device qualifications. By expanding my knowledge and experience, I improve the bottom line.
