A promotion/demotion from Chief Everything Officer!

We design, build and execute solutions for the most significant problems of our time. We deliver engineered products in a design space with engineered externality risk, with precision fitment to constraints. If it should be built then we will build it.

Nerd Nite Fort Collins is a stage for the brightest minds, the punnyest nerds and a few shenanigans. We have a live show monthly at the Wolverine Farm Publick House. BE THERE AND BE SQUARE!

I am working on my thesis "The Canonical Art". In my thesis I articulate my journey to understand as much as I can about the universe we find ourselves in. I use the sciences to form a perception of reality and paint a picture of the world and the set of outcomes we may arrive at. The output of this work is used as a decision metric for my company The.

Redmond, Washington, US

At Microsoft, I developed complex digital IP and explored the apparatus used in that pursuit. Recently, I have examined the space of tools and methodologies improvements enabled by recent advances in AI. I have developed a program to rapidly adopt the best in new tools and methodologies to achieve market dominance. Prior to these pursuits, my focus spanned.

San Jose, CA, US

At Xilinx I designed implemented and deployed complex digital IP targeting both ASIC and FPGA. Highlights during my time at Xilinx included holding a lead role designing a first in market Polar decoder for 5G wireless, implementation of silicon manufacturing test features and development of high performance data movement architectures for DNNs/CNNs.

Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, NL

I designed and implemented the digital RX PHY for BLE, ANT+ and (G)FSK protocols first available in the KW40-512 SOC. My design yielded a 3dB improvement over the existing solution while simultaneously consuming less area and less power.

• Developed a novel light level compensation algorithm for a compressive sensing/spatial light modulator camera.
• Developed a novel adaptive sensing algorithm for compressive sensing.
• Developed, simulated and implemented highly configurable custom IP to generate spatial light modulator patterns that run at a sustained rate of 40Gb/sec.
• Maintained FPGA design and development workflow including git version control, Makefiles, Tcl scripting, VCS simulator and Xilinx tools.
• Implemented and debugged a PCIE gen 2 x8 interface to a Xilinx Virtex 6 FPGA

Austin, Texas, US

• Worked on a team that developed and demonstrated a high speed HF ground wave modem that exceeded customer specifications. My primary role was to implement the modem's physical layer on either a Virtex 5 or Virtex 6 FPGA.
• Developed FPGA interfaces for high speed ADCs and DACs (LVDS), supervisory and control interfaces (SPI) as well as interfacing with USB and Ethernet PHYs, GPIO, etc.
• Developed a turnkey approach that facilitates rapid design, iteration and deployment of an arbitrary DSP algorithm on an FPGA.
• Designed several LMS and DFE equalizers customized to bandwidth, channel and resource specifications. Integrated equalizers into modem physical layers residing on Xilinx Virtex 5, Virtex 6 and Kintex 7 FPGAs.
• Implemented high speed correlator, error correction and other physical layer functions in VHDL and Xilinx System Generator.
• Wrote and maintained tcl scripting for the Xilinx toolchain yielding in reliable, repeatable results. Helped author a hardware design coding style and best practices document that has greatly reduced downstream design.

San Antonio, TX, US

• Developed an FPGA implementation of forward error correcting codes utilized by the NASA SSCS radio.
• Integrated application specific soft co-processors with the PowerPC 405 processor included on Xilinx Virtex 2 Pro FPGAs. Benchmarked application specific architectures and provided detailed analytical results to the.
• Worked as a team member on a large project developing a network-based airborne data acquisition and recording system for flight tests of new airframes. Performed tasks including hardware development and procurement.

Columbia, Maryland, US

I operated the simulator where I first learned to be an Aerial Navigator. Here I helped train Navigator candidates for all branches of the US Armed Forces and allies.

Washington, DC, US

Worldwide operation of United States Marine Corps KC-130 aircraft. As an Aerial Navigator my role included mission planning for all phases of flight and for multi aircraft and ground asset evolutions and coordination with embassy staff to arrange diplomatic overflight clearance. I was one of the last fully qualified celestial Navigators trained in the US.
