Extensive experience as a director, lead architect, chief technologist, manager and principal investigator of high-talent engineers and graduate students in blockchain/crypto mechanics and governance, adaptive processing, machine learning, networking, communications, coding, unified communications, IoT, and spread-spectrum.Excellent negotiation and outbound communications skills; often chairs and defines external high-tech forums. Has defined and led research and pragmatically developed cutting-edge technical products in both start-up and established company settings.Dr. Ramalho is presently an invited graduate lecturer on Web3, Crypto/Blockchain Mechanics, Distributed Ledger, Consensus Mechanisms such as “Probabilistic Validator Selection” (aka “Proof of Stake”) and “Proof of Work”, crypto money supply policy, blockchain virtual machines and smart contracts, crypto blockchain and crypto exchange governance, crypto policy and legal/fiduciary concerns (self-custody vs exchange custody), tokenization (e.g., NFTs) and Layer 2 Blockchains and security of their associated channels/bridges. In November 2022 he formed and moderated a 90-minute panel on Crypto Governance at the 1st IEEE GET Blockchain ForumExcels and strives in developing novel technology solutions which require optimization in graduate level math, engineering, and computing disciplines such as machine learning, algorithmic convergence, reliable distributed computing or networking. Research initiative manager for many million-dollar applied research projects. Developed the first-ever application of lossless codec technology specifically for use in Internet Telephony (became G.711.0).Proven track record for on-time, high-quality, analytically-challenging product designs in Chief Technologist (C-suite), technical manager and individual contributor roles.Dr. Ramalho has served on technical program committees for prominent technical conferences, serves on technical advisory boards, has several conference papers, and actively participates in university research outreach (Rutgers, Stanford, UT Dallas, USF, Cleveland State). In the IEEE Florida West Coast Section, he serves as the Chair for the IEEE Florida West Coast Section Blockchain Community and Chair of the Joint Communications and Signal Processing Society. A creative problem-solver and innovator, Dr. Ramalho has with over 55 issued patents and in 2021 won the IEEE Region 3 Florida Outstanding Engineer Award in 2021.
