At Broadcom, I am the lead software engineer for an MPEG2/DirecTV transport stream demultiplexing engine, which is used in the 74xx/73xx family of cable and satellite settop SoCs. I am responsible for the low-level driver, middleware, and example applications as they pertain to the demux engine.- Designed and wrote driver, middleware, and example applications for TransportStream IO, a high-speed serial interface to a new generation of smart cards. - Wrote customer-specified test harness for TransportStream IO.This harness tested the Broadcom SoC and the smart card together as a system, in all the major modes of operation. The harness was designed as a TCP/IP client-server package, where test scripts were executed on the client app, which sent configuration commands over a TCP socket to the server. The server then called the demux driver and middleware.- Developed MPEG and DirecTV transport packet demultiplexing driver.- Wrote PSI / program guide parsing driver. Extended existing program guide parser to better use new hardware. - Wrote driver for PVR recording and playback. - Driver and system-level middleware for video and audio Elementary Stream parsing engine. The output is forwarded to the video and audio decoders.- Driver for stream Program clock recovery, which insures that our chips are consuming data at the same rate that the uplink or headend is generating it. - Performed software and hardware debug on customer and in-house issues. Wrote and tested software workarounds for hardware issues. Supported customers on-site in US and overseas locations.

NeoPoint was founded to develop some of the first generation of smartphones, integrating brower, email, calendar, and voice recognition. The handsets were based on the Qualcomm MSM3000 CDMA chip.- Lead Software for the user interface development for NP1000 and NP2000 handsets. - Wrote device driver for Sharp LCD and ISD 8005 voice memo chip.- Wrote interrupt handler for Advanced RISC Machine's ARM7TDMI microprocessor core (used in the MSM3000). - Integrated Advanced Recognition Technologies' continuous-speech voice recognition package.- Promoted to manager in mid-2000.

TV/COM grew out of the Oak Industries analog cable settop box division. It was one of the first OEMs for digital direct-broadcast satellite infrastructure. I was lead software engineer for the downlink integrated receiver and decoder.- Developed application and driver code for MPEG2/DVB cable head-end satellite receiver. - Brought up JMI C Executive realtime kernel on a Motorola 68340-based board. - Assisted company partners in product development on-site, in Canada and Europe. - Wrote drivers for Intel and SST Flash memory devices.- Wrote software for Motorola 68340, 68302, 68EN360 MPUs (including chip initialization code and drivers for the integrated UARTs, memory controller, and SPI) .- Developed driver for Philips I2C bus master.

Hughes- JVC was a joint venture between Hughes Aircraft and JVC, to commercialize the videoprojection technology that Hughes had developed for the military. - Device drivers for custom on-screen graphics subsystem. - Supported system software for the Model 300 projector. - Was given responsibility for maintaining the auto-convergence DSP firmware.

My business unit in the Hughes Industrial Products Division built semiconductor die-attach and wire bonding equipment. This was my first full time job after graduation.- Developed optical pattern-recognition application. The application used gray-scale normalized-correlation searching and edge-detection to locate bare IC die on the package substrate.- Was given responsibility for maintaining assembly language applications for current pick-and-place equipment.
