Leading a team of software developers to create a highly scalable diagnostic and troubleshooting system for Amazon consumer devices including Echo, Echo Show, Fire Tablets, and Fire TVs. System includes on device firmware, AWS backend services, and customer face troubleshooting experiences on Web and Mobile Apps.

Managed multiple global teams of highly skilled engineers delivering software development tools sold as part of the Freescale’s solution. Managed the Debug Target Interface Team and was responsible for developing JTAG debug probes and their corresponding firmware. Also managed the Linux Tools Team, supporting open source tools including GDB, Perf, Valgrind, and debug library support.• Revolutionized the JTAG emulator market by creating the CodeWarrior TAP JTAG Probe Platform which was the industry’s first low cost, high performance smart JTAG Probe powered by embedded Linux running on an embedded ARM processor.• Generated over $10M in tools revenue and critical in enabling 75% of Freescale semiconductor design wins with 3 generations of the CodeWarrior TAP.• Created competitive advantages with innovation in on-chip debug capabilities of for multi-core processors.• Developed 39 engineers over 12 years resulting in increased efficiency through fostering a culture of excellence using agile methodology for performance saving of over $2.9M.• Maintained an employee retention rate of 92% by creating a culture of personal ownership, teamwork, and open communication.• Drove Software Quality into the team, reducing escape rate of defects from 15% down to 2%.• Leverage open source community to deliver cost effective, quality solutions to our customers.• Created a culture of co-design between Software Engineers, Silicon designers, and Silicon Validation Teams using software to prove out new silicon designs.• Showed flexibility to take on temporary leadership roles as needed. For example, acted as product architect for software development tools for a SIMD processor and successfully transferred the project to a low cost center. I also managed the ARM compiler team through a year of transition, while searching for a permanent replacement.

Team leader of a group of software tools developers creating compiler, debugger, simulators, IDEs, performance analysis tools, and runtime firmware. Took a hands on role as the debugger engineer on the team, while managing a cohesive set of customer-focused requirements.• Enabled software development solution for the Motorola Digital Signal Processors by delivering CodeWarrior Development Suite for DSP.• Drove quality processes into the team reducing defect rate. Automated builds and automated tests were the key drivers in improvements.• Leveraged experience, automation, and reusable code base to build follow-on products at 75% less cost.

• Designed and created the first DSP C-debugger for CodeWarrior Development Suite, targeting a Motorola DSP family.• Enabled engineers to debug Real-time operating Systems by creating a Debugger RTOS awareness plugin for Nucleus OS.• Created reusable code in C++ using object oriented design supporting multiple host platforms.

• Designed and created development tools for TI DSPs.• Supported new features in the C-debugger including extended memory addressing, data trace, and new Graphical User Interface based in Microsoft Foundation Class.• Defined and prototyped software interface for trace collection probe.• Created an automated system for trace collection probe hardware.Created an automated system for trace collection probe hardware.

• Maintained compiler used for the United States Space Shuttle Program.• Wrote instruction set simulator (ISS) for IBM360 to run on UNIX workstations.• Wrote source level debugger used by the HAL/S compiler team.
