Over 35 years of experience in product definition, creation, and applications work in the semiconductor and system businesses. His career has focused on innovating new products at the intersection of algorithms, software, and hardware in the areas of computing and networking. Through his career he has held engineering positions in software, hardware, logic design, system architecture, compilers, applications, OS porting, I/O drivers, board design, IC product definition, evangelizing and management. Most recently he has held CTO titles at IDT and MoSys.Career highlights:He personally conceived and created a new class of processor, Graph Memory Engine (GME), which he prototyped in C/Python and wrote a TCAM compiler in C to program it. GME can enable a wide range of classification applications from AI to database search and networking requiring high capacity and performance.Assembled and managed a cross functional team to productize the GME Stellar Mercury product composed of FPGA RTL, algorithm architects, software, firmware, and system engineers. Resulted in a 200Mb TCAM alternative product sufficient for 2 x 100GE firewall. Architecture will scale beyond 1Gb capacity and support for multi-terabit/s data rates.Architected a new class of very high access rate, high capacity, low latency SerDes attached monolithic memory resulting in 3 generations of product.Incubated a TCAM memory product line at IDT which was ultimately acquired by NetLogic for $90M in 2009.Conceived and patented the protocol which was ultimately defined the industry standard JTAG protocol that exists on most all silicon produced today.47+ US patents in system, software, hardware, protocols and chip architecture, cited by 1,500 patents from companies including Intel, IBM, Cisco, Micron, F5, and SanDisk. 14+ publications including IEEE, IEEE Mirco, HotChips, EDN, EE Times, MemCon, Embedded, OFC and Linley Tech Conferences.Specialties: Systems architecture, product architecture prototyping with C/Python, product definition, product verification, technical marketing and applications, managing cross functional software and hardware development, technology innovation, and IP acquisition
