As an Embedded Systems Architect, I am responsible for the system architecture design, embedded firmware development, testing and debugging of the Avive Connect, a Linux Medical Device Data System (MDDS). I've also assisted with firmware development and testing of the Avive AED, a FDA Class III PMA Medical Device. Relevant training I have completed includes FDA Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 21 Part 820 (QUALITY SYSTEM REGULATION), IEC 62304 (Medical device software – Software life cycle processes), and ISO 13485:2016 (Medical devices — Quality management systems — Requirements for regulatory purposes).Avive -- Giving you the power to save lives.

Embedded Systems EngineeringI'm a veteran embedded systems engineer and software architect, with many years of experience leading and directing small, agile engineering teams. ​I love research, development, and solving challenging problems.While specializing in firmware (software) design for a variety of embedded platforms, I am well versed in many aspects of product design. I enjoy being involved in cutting-edge research and development, but don't shy away from legacy product maintenance and enhancements. Digging into old systems to make them better is one of my fortes! I'm also passionate about efficiency. I love to optimize the performance and battery life of embedded devices. I really enjoy the challenge of programming tiny, resource constrained MCUs.My goal is to be a leader and valued member of your engineering team by excelling in embedded system design, firmware architecture, development and testing.我会说一点汉语,可是我说的不好. 中国加油!
