- PCIe Software Team Lead (2019-Present)My team handles the software drivers and ecosystem around the PCIe controllers in Qualcomm SoCs. This includes support in PC-side tools, bootloaders, OSs, and peripherals. - Memory validation/selection lead (2018-2019)I was responsible for developing and executing a strategy for validating flash and DRAM memory parts on Qualcomm platforms to ensure compatibility and suitability for commercial products. I also ran a lab that evaluates JEDEC spec compliance of DRAM parts in collaboration with memory vendors. Key to these roles was maintaining relationships with memory vendors and ensuring that our roadmaps are aligned to satisfy the needs of our mutual customers.- Software lead for the improveTouch host-based touch processing solution (2015-2018)I led the software team that developed a disruptive, industry-leading capacitive touchscreen solution. . The primary objective was to move touch processing from a panel-mounted, resource-constrained MCU to the Snapdragon DSP to reduce cost and significantly increase capabilities. I led a team of 11 local and 7 offshore software engineers. (Hyderabad, Shanghai, and Shenzhen).I worked closely with Product Management and the hardware/systems teams to influence the team priorities and ensure that this new technology was smoothly introduced into internal and customer platforms.- Software lead for mobile storage devices (SD, eMMC, UFS, NAND, NOR, EEPROM) and filesystems (2007-2015)I started with hands-on software development in Windows Mobile and Linux to support SD/MMC and eMMC devices, and then led the transition from NAND to eMMC to UFS as the primary storage device for mobile devices. I led a local team of 10 engineers and an offshore team of 5 engineers.I was also involved in vendor relationships, including international travel to visit and present, and in working with representatives to the JEDEC standards body to help influence the direction in Qualcomm's favor.

- USB software lead for both Platform 2000 (P2K) and Linux (2003-2007)I led a team of engineers that was responsible for the development and support of the USB driver for all Motorola phones. I supported both the legacy P2K system, as well as several pre-Android attempts at building a Linux-based mobile platform.- J2ME project lead for the Accompli 009 GSM/Edge messaging device (2000-2003)I was responsible for integrating the J2ME KVM into one of the first color messaging devices with a full-color screen. Innovations were supporting in-place execution for Java bytecode, customized support for the device's primitive filesystem, and adaptation to the atypical screen and button layout.- Software development for the two-way Pagewriter 2000 pager (1997-2000)I focused primarily on software development for a graphical UI and application framework that was way ahead of its time, and messaging protocols that supported one of the first mobile email platforms.
