I love graphs.Let me explain. While reading an article about map rendering, I was struck with the realization that many of my interests stem from graphs. I have been interested in networks, transit, CPU architecture, FPGAs, algorithms, railroads, maps, circuits, Lego, protocols, graph theory, compilers, GIS, data science, HPC, parallel computing, neural networks, machine learning, traveling, history, physics, 3D graphics, art, drawing, visual communication, product development, modeling, procedural generation.I have been working in the protocol analyzer, networking, and storage industries for the last 9 years. Currently, I work as an SAE, supporting storage products. My activities range from building drivers and debugging to hunting down protocol violations to solving hardware failures. I also work with organizations to develop industry standards.Recently, I have nurtured my interest in CPU and GPU architecture by becoming a member of RISC-V International. Specifically, I contribute to the Graphics SIG. I am getting dev tools working for the new vector extension of RISC-V in order to quantify gaps needed for performant execution of graphics workloads, including ISA simulator, compiler, assembler, across both GNU and LLVM projects. The goal is to be able to experiment with possible custom instructions for graphics and ML such as matrix/vector operations. This is very exciting and affords me the opportunity to be creative around an interesting problem.I have worked as a hardware engineer designing networking products. As an architect and on the technical track, I obtained multiple patents. I have designed protocol analyzers for SAS/SATA, PCIe, and NVMe. My focus was on FPGA logic design. In this capacity, I had experience with all phases of the product life-cycle.I like following industry trends, particularly python, graphics cards, FPGA, CPU, and protocols. I have enjoyed being a part of and contributing to standards organizations and workgroups. With my broad understanding and experience, I excel in various roles such as firmware, logic, hardware, and software engineer, sales engineer, product manager, and technical marketing.I enjoy working with people, at the same time (or while) being able to flex my creative muscles to influence roadmaps, architectures, and products. Give me a problem with constraints and I will create a solution. I want to develop good ideas and see them realized in order to make a difference in the world. This is not just a cliche: I want to feel connected to and motivated about the projects and outcomes of my work.
