I craft business deals which connect NXP digital networking product customers to a large inventory of software, services, and support which helps projects complete faster, with superior features, and with a better ROI profile.In addition to my prior SW Tools responsibilities which I still maintain, I have added the following:* Key focus on security, packet acceleration, Linux.* Liase between legal, technical, and executive management* Excellent birth to death deal lifecycle management experience with very good closing rate* Created, from scratch, an amazing PTC Integrity based business operations/CRM/reporting infrastructure for a services business, including the little bits for revenue recognition* Closed many, many, many business deals while doing all this.* Developing a good overall knowledge of many aspects around security (trusted boot, trusted execution, trusted communications, crypto accel, key management, etc.). Not necessarily a deeply technical understanding, but a good layman's knowledge set.* Still continue to be involved with projects during execution stage - giving the teams guidance on the right things to do when the SOW can't normally address.

My role is to make NXP networking Technology (runtime software, compilers, linkers, debuggers, probes, and many other technologies) available to our customers and 3rd parties to reduce their redundancy, quicken their time to market, and help them focus on increased value add. Some of the more interesting things I've done, do, or skills I have demonstrated as part of this role would be:* Re-crafted the CodeWarrior product line to highlight networking based software - increased utility to customers - matched customer needs to development activities - moved successfully to a subscription model - moved many products to a superior year month based versioning concept - assisted in institutionalizing a SAAS 3rd party SW distribution system* Created a tiered product offering concept widely used in many SW product lines.

I help real world people apply Internet of Things, particularly LoRa type deployments, to real world situations. I'd like to think I'm sort of the "easy button" for businesses who want better control and monitoring.
