• Technical sales support for Southern California, Nevada, and Mexico.• Product demonstrations, front-line customer support, training.As a side project I collected and organized a vast amount of technical information and utilities about chips, boards, software tools and internal documentation into a one-stop resource for field sales and support staff. Promoted to become corporate-wide technical resource for sales and support staff.

Responsible for product design and management of engineering projects: Hardware / Software / Packaging.• Created a low-power interface that used an in-etch magnetic pickup to receive video sync signals, reducing cost by nearly 70%, connectivity to just one cable, and resulting in US Patent 5877752.• Reduced another interface design to a single-chip implementation in OTP logic for integration into an OEM customer’s product.• Technologies: 8051/PIC firmware, Mentor PADS PCB, Low-power analog, FCC/CE compliance testing, ESD immunity.
