I'm one of Verilab's Co-Founders, responsible for creating and leading our teams across all sites, in the UK, Europe and North America. My work involves managing Verilab's technical direction as a company, start-up (UK, Germany, USA, Canada), international business development, sales, strategic partnerships, funding, R&D, coaching/mentoring, managing client relationships, and delivering services to those clients. I'm an expert in functional verification for ASIC and FPGA. I help our clients with strategic analysis, audit, and decision making, for digital and mixed-signal design verification. I help clients plan, manage and implementation effective verification solutions in SystemVerilog/UVM, amongst other things.I regularly present at industry conferences, promoting new techniques and showing off what Verilab can do. I'm a consultant - which means I find business, and I grow it, by helping Verilab's clients solve their biggest problems.

• Founded Purple Pixel to address the niche ASIC design and verification market. As ASIC and FPGA gate counts started to increase dramatically, the need for more pragmatic development techniques was clear. Many of these techniques were logical extensions of work I was already doing. During my time with Purple Pixel, I was brought in to support ASIC designs, and designed several large FPGAs.• Consultancy for ASIC and FPGA design and verification. • Development of complex reusable testbenches in VHDL for the verification of design implementations. • Analysis and development of simulation regression control for verification.• Verification planning and specification traceability analysis.• Design and Verification team management• Wound up the company to form Verilab Ltd. with some other partners

• Bringing a deep understanding of end user design and application requirements, I was given the responsibility of designing new memory components and sub-systems for high speed digital applications. Product development was very sensitive to market windows, cost control, and a good understanding of end applications. Many of the products were aimed at defence, or high reliability designs. • Development of test solutions (hardware and software) for the testing of memory components and sub-systems on automatic test equipment (ATE).

High speed digital ASIC and FPGA design for graphics processing, e.g. head-up displays and digital maps.Design of 1553, Panavia Link and bus/backplane interfaces. High speed PCB design.Development and debug of microprocessor based flight information systems, graphics processors, peripheral interfaces and video interfaces.Software development to control and verify real time applications. Liaison with customers and end users for integration purposes.

• Commissioning and debug of mission planning computers, and microprocessor based flight information products.• Development of high and low level software for the control and testing of products.
