Enable hardware and software engineers and developers to discover and create innovative computer hardware and software which advances computing technology and improves the lives of people throughout the world.

Our product is Spectrum Design Studio, an Integrated Design Environment for the synthesis, verification, and realization of efficient digital systems from the language Spectrum.● Designed a new object-oriented computer language for Software & Hardware Development called Spectrum● The Spectrum language is capable of advanced computer software and hardware design with innovative features and capabilities that will provide a significant advantage in quality of implementation and time-to-market especially to computer hardware developers with higher-level abstractions not provided in existing hardware description languages● Designed and developed a compiler for Spectrum in C# that takes Spectrum source code and generates an internal design representation format that is used for the synthesis and verification of a computer system or component architecture, ~100K lines of C# code● In the process of developing a complete Integrated Design Environment (IDE) called Spectrum Design Studio to provide an all-in-one solution for software/hardware developers to synthesize and verify a software/hardware design given a Spectrum specification. Initial release of product will provide for hardware system or component development with Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays and ASIC implementation targets.

● Founded a non-profit corporation developing software products for Catholic Church Offices● Productized a state-of-the-art church management software system running on the Windows platform, far-surpassed features and functionality of all existing product offerings from competitors● Wrote 115K lines of C# code for LittleFlock, using a ribbon-based user-interface similar to Word and Excel, and utilizing the Windows Presentation Foundation .NET offering from Microsoft● Utilized a MySQL-based database, which provided a powerful relational database and kept the product pricing down; provided sophisticated searching, selection, reporting with custom XML-syntax scripting language● Implemented AWS-based emailing features and cloud-based backup

● C# Software Developer for Project Scheduling Web Application, targeting the construction industry● Contributed two major components to the application: Reporting and the Scheduling Algorithm● Developed and implemented an advanced reporting engine which compiles a custom reporting language, RevelScript, which is an XML-syntax based language. Report quality far exceeding that offered by the Oracle Primavera product was a huge selling point for our product● Used RevelScript to write about 15 different reports, parameterized with filter and sort selection● New reports could be added and tested without recompiling or reinstalling a new version of the system. Most report code was less than 100 lines and utilized RevelScript, an object-oriented language that offered most of the features of programming languages combined with concise and efficient data access● Developed and maintained constraint-based scheduling algorithm. I had only a short time to deliver the first version since the original developer failed to deliver and there was an important meeting with CalTrans that required working schedules for their construction project.

● Designed high-performance arithmetic logic circuits for FPGA-targeted Logic Synthesis Software

● Research and Development, Computer-Aided Design Software for Integrated Circuits (C, C++)● Logic Synthesis System (OPAL, M.S. project); Behavior-to-Logic Interactive Synthesis (BLIS) System (Ph.D. research)

Team developer of Calisto, a digital logic timing verifier primarily used for gate-array ICsDeveloped an incremental, interactive compiler for the VHDL Hardware description Language and worked with other team members to develop a Language-based VHDL editorLeft the team to enter the Ph.D. program in Electrical Engineering at U.C. Berkeley. With GE MEC closing down operations, my manager started Synopsys and took the rest of the team to Mountain View, CA.

● Developed resource usage-based accounting software for VAX/VMS system leasing at NCSU● Supported Software Tools/Compiler written in the RATFOR (Rational Fortran, C-like syntax) Language
