Responsible software leader & team manager overseeing a group of ~15 software engineers, both internal and external, including year-end performance reviews, mentoring & coaching staff as well as leading by example.Coaching and career development of new and existing software engineers including responsibility for drafting job vacancies, screening & interviewing candidates, as well as hiring and terminations of employees.Heavily involved with the development of product requirements, software specifications, defining hardware/software interfaces as well as the architecture of new & existing systems.Technical Owner and Software Architect responsible for the design, development & delivery of multiple embedded platforms: i.MX6, dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, MIPS ethernet switch, ARC-based video processors as well as Intel Atom E3940 quad-core.Architected and designed the Clifford Platform: a modular blade-and-chassis integrated system including four distinct computing platforms.Architecture involved: security and secure boot; controller-worker architecture over network; hardware failure mitigation and recovery; RPC and Events (ZeroMQ, libcereal); User API design; Inter-blade API design; Division of responsibility between controller and worker blades; Functional separation via processes.Designed and implemented a C++11 application running on Linux to control NTSC Analog Video output blades. NTSC Analog Video Output Blade consisted of Dual-Cortex-A9 i.MX6 application processor, a Xilinx FPGA and six ViXS ARC-based Video Processors. The Video processors were booted via a custom SPI protocol using custom FPGA hardware and integrated software to deliver U-Boot, and afterwards net-booted to uClinux over TFTP.

Pico Digital was acquired by ATX Networks.Designed and implemented a firmware-based C application running on Linux to perform over-the-air software download and updates. Involved controlling FPGA to select MPEG-TS PIDs, parsing PAT/PMT tables and receiving a DSM-CC Carousel via libdvbpsi.Designed, developed and implemented a C application running on Linux, integrating GStreamer, Cairo and Pango to generate and render a scrolling program guide as well as H.264 to compress the video and deliver it via UDP-encapsulated MPEG-TS.Involved with integrating hardware drivers for color space conversion and video compression utilizing Yocto Project / OpenEmbedded / Bitbake.Designed, developed and implemented secure boot-from-NAND using i.MX6 High Assurance Boot (HAB) subsystem. Utilized static UBI volumes with read-only UBIFS images and stored signature data in a separate part of NAND. U-Boot modified to call into i.MX6 HAB ROM against arbitrary section of the signed memory.

Designed and implemented next-generation Ethernet-networked camera system primarily implemented in C, on Ubuntu Core Linux, with some application-level code in C++. Utilized a TI AM3703 processor with a single Cortex-A8 core. Implemented drivers for CMOS imager and supporting raw NAND interface using a AM3703 GPMI unit.Worked with multiple teams to help drive down product cost from over $1000 per unit to $265.

Evolution Robotics Retail was acquired by Datalogic.Designed and implemented Ethernet-networked camera system, implemented in C running on VisualDSP++ Kernel (VDK) on the ADSP-BF537 part. Wrote CMOS Imager interface, integrated JPEG compression libraries, integrated LwIP ethernet stack and performance tuning of memory/cache hierarchy.Designed and implemented manufacturing tests and database for same using PostgreSQL, Google Web Toolkit and Java.Designed printed circuit boards and test fixture software.Worked closely with Sales & Marketing to identify high-value features for future revisions as well as identifying opportunities for product improvements.

Technical lead for a team of four software engineers developing a handset wireless mesh for a networking startup.Designed, developed and implemented mesh networking logic written in C running on (bare metal) dsPIC30F4012 (30MIPS, 2K RAM), including SPI interface to audio codec chip, UART interface to 900MHz radio, and keypad/screen user interface.Responsibilities included algorithm development, software design, testing and coding.Granted US Patent 7,626,966 regarding development of an ad-hoc wireless communication system
