Austin, TX, US

• Led the development of a real-time HEVC software encoder targeting the massively parallel HyperX processor: encoding method optimization, quality evaluation, design decomposition, direct contribution
• Algorithm analysis and implementations for parallel processing with tens or hundreds of cores, for example singular value decomposition, motion estimation, entropy coding, deep learning convolutional networks.
• Implemented a real time AVC/H.264 encoder running on hundreds of processor cores in collaboration with a partner company
• Guided software tools improvements to simplify the development methodology for scalable, hierarchical parallel processing designs ❞ very talented colleagues and a culture of freedom to investigate at Coherent Logix.

Seattle, Washington, US

• Contributed to video compression encoder development and maintenance of existing video processing solutions using GPU-based acceleration
• Developed an innovative rate control algorithm for video compression that met compliance requirements and maximized video quality while achieving a target bit rate
• Implemented GPU accelerated color corrector, video effects, and other functions as part of an accelerated video processing pipeline.❞ while at Elemental Technologies I had the opportunity to observe a highly effective.

US

• Led the development of a real-time AVC Intra encoder targeting Ambric's massively parallel processor array (MPPA) technology
• Principal contributor to the Pyro Kompressor HD family of video encoder accelerators using MPPA technology: motion estimation and intra prediction mode selection
• Led the cross-team application bringup effort on the first AM2045 MPPA chips received from fab. Enabled Ambric's first encoder accelerator demonstration at the 2006 NAB Show
• Contributor to the functional requirements definition and evolution of Ambric's structural object programming model and aDesigner suite of development tools❞ Ambric was a great opportunity for professional development.

• Led hardware/software design partitioning for the Turbo iDDR media disk recorder: requirements-driven design, use case methodology, component evaluation, leveraging existing IP, risk mitigation.
• Technical contributor to the architecture and software design of the Profile 6G product family which combined SD and HD video in a single server platform and provided seamless image scaling for playlists containing.
• Developed HD playback capability for Profile XP media server. Invented a method for HD encoding based on 6 standard definition silicon devices and guided its implementation❞ Grass Valley gave me the opportunity to.

Beaverton, OR, US
