Corvallis, Oregon, Us

The company I use to launch my inventions, when I get time to work on them. This varies as my other projects come and go, but some version of this organisation has been in the background for years - about time to take it out of hiding!

The HOUR Exchange is a network of local individuals and businesses who use local currency as a tool to promote sustainable, community-based economics. Our organization is a membership-based non-profit. We are dedicated to the health of the local economy in our region, in and around Benton County, Oregon.

The Corvallis Bicycle Collective!Our mission is to enhance safety, sustainability, and happiness through bicycling. Through our Bicycle Shop anyone can learn how to maintain or repair their bicycle using our tools and guidance for free. You can also shop from a wide selection of affordable used bicycles and new and used parts and accessories.We're active in the Corvallis community promoting access to bicycles and support for cycling as a way of life, including our Ask-A-Wrench booth at the Corvallis Farmer's Market, our Annual Bike Swap, and participation at sustainability, health, and cycling events year round,We can't do it alone. We're deeply appreciative of all donations, whether financial support or donated bicycles, parts, accessories, and tools you're no longer using. We also rely on our volunteers in the shop, in the community, or behind the scenes.

Rigado provides proven low power wireless solutions and experienced engineering services.I worked on a variety of small projects ranging from developing innovative deflection sensing to controlling innovative deflection technology. Oh, and using Lego as a prototyping platform for a proof of concept learning toy.

Working on robust display systems for deployment in cabins for Business Aviation clients.Imagine your home entertainment system - High-Definition screens, huge media libraries, seamless streaming from local and remote devices, network and broadcast channels, intuitive GUI and user experiences. Now imagine that transplanted into the luxury (and constraints!) of a business jet. That is what I get to participate in and help create.Of course, anything bolted to an aircraft's airframe gets to be scrutinized and approved by the FAA, undergoes rigorous vibration and temperature cycling tests and a gamut of other tests stressing environmental challenges not encountered in an average living room. So it is not just popping over to Best Buy, finding a TV and plopping it into an attractive cabinet and calling it good...It was an exhilarating couple of months here, and I developed a deep understanding of MIPI DSI protocols and pit-falls, and a refreshed capability on Linux device drivers and Android under-the-hood experience. If you have a gnarly MIPI DSI issue stymieing you, I am your man...

In the 3+ years, I have worked on:Web based storefront for Tizen, a new mobile phone operating system,innovative interrupt based task scheduling system design,created a multi-boot system that booted into one of 7 distinct versions of Windows and release candidates for Windows,shake out problems in drivers we were developing for advanced prototype sensors and input devices,an advanced control system for a 4 time world championship Electric Racing Motorcycle.a multi-device Android application and corresponding patent filing,Bluetooth LE devices and applications, Beacons and tracking,FCC testing and documentation,honing my skills as a RC Helicopter pilotand one or two other projects I am not at liberty to disclose

Adobe AIR and Flex application development. Web based video conferencing applications, network installation and management.

Joined the Product Development group and contributed to 2 critical projects in development.● Investigated and implemented wireless protocols including ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) and derivatives. ● Converted a third party graphic library to support rotated displays. ● Implemented a CAN bus driver on a newly developed target platform and NXP processor. I now have PIC and NXP ARM experience in my portfolio of processors I am expert in.

Assisting ex-HP employees transforming the rest of their lives. Being one myself, I was ideally qualified and situated to provide these services. Using my problem solving skills on people and livelihoods was an interesting challenge and a rewarding experience. To this day, people still stop me on the street to remark on the difference I made for them, in this role.I provided information, training, facilities and any other support to enable dislocated workers to find employment, change careers, apply for TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance http://www.doleta.gov/tradeact/) or select colleges for appropriate skills development.

Develop Ethernet network modules and protocols for linked arcade games. Utilized D.O.D. DIS (Distributed Interactive Simulation) over TCP/IP and UDP protocols as underlying infrastructure.The original arcade game company that launched a whole industry – still innovating leading edge arcade experiences. (since acquired by Midway Games)Architect of the network interface system to support multi-player, real-time linked arcade games.Research to establish the minimal acceptable latencies and performance requirements of protocols and network stacks in arcade game systems.Analyzed trade-offs between network architectures – ARCnet, Coax Ethernet, 10-BaseT, 100-BaseT and ATM. Generated a report demonstrating 10-BaseT Ethernet as the winner for optimal cost and performance over the entrenched ARCnet and the other contenders. Developed a real time network protocol, the network drivers and Ethernet interface design for the link module. This implementation was used in all subsequent linked games. Successfully demonstrated that 100% network utilization is feasible in Ethernet CSMA/CD networks with this architecture, nullifying concerns raised for selection of a different network.Spearheaded the development of an implementation of the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) IEEE 1278 standard and participated in industry conferences.Principal duties included: Embedded software development on MIPS R3000 and R4000 family processors.Proprietary network protocol design and implementation.Ethernet interface design and development with performance analysis and optimization.Hardware and firmware debug and bring-up. RTOS selection and bring-up (Nucleus)

Developer of the IBM NetBIOS PC-Network LAN architecture, pioneering broadband LAN/MAN Terminal Servers, PC Adapter and protocol developer and Network Hub and Equipment manufacturer.Team leader of the Chassis Management Module for the Enterprise Hub supporting Terminal Server, Ethernet hub and bridge, and FDDI cards. Management functionality was supported through IP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) or a terminal interface. Instigated coding methodologies that reduced program errors in the external interfaces by nearly 50%. Designed automated code generation from SNMP MIB specifications using AWK scripts, further reducing errors by guaranteeing complete implementation.Selected for the design team for the Token Ring Module encompassing dual attachment interfaces, the RMON (Remote Monitoring) MIB and supporting fault-tolerant and self healing ring topologies. Instrumental in debugging the auto speed detection firmware.Responsible for sophisticated fault monitoring, ring health detection and self-healing algorithms.Incidental Projects.PC ISA Ethernet Card with Driver support and multi-protocol stack development.SNMP Agent development for PC TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) deployment that had a memory footprint of only 10K, compared to typical 80k-145k of leading competitors.Initiated and participated in the SNMP Agent Specification RFC 1303.Developed an MS Access based SNMP MIB browser.Responsible for selecting the build and source code control system, and completed the implementation and roll-out to the R&D department of Intersolv PVCS.
