Was taking time off from full-time employment and now seeking a full-time opportunity. During my time off, I became a master chef, traveled and practiced several languages, e.g., Italian, Spanish and Japanese. Most recently, 18-year Microsoft vet serving in a variety of domains and roles including business development, privacy, systems security, partner management and engineering systems. I have a diverse corporate background having worked in Silicon Valley startups (including co-founding one) and one expat role in Japan. I love working at all layers of the stack from the hardware software boundary to the clouds. In addition to being an awesome techie, I'm a great a self-trained IP and anti-competition lawyer and I have negotiated dozens of complex IP collaboration agreements between industry giants, such as Microsoft, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, AMD and more working side-by-side with the best actual lawyers in the industry.Areas of expertise: Systems Security, Industry Partner Management, Program Management, People Management, Software Stacks, Hardware Including SoCs and Embedded Systems, Parallel Computing, Signal Processing, Technology Licensing, Negotiations, IP Strategy, Collaboration, Software Engineering Systems (build/release/source control), Standards and Data Privacy.I can say "thank you" in ten languages and get around ok in four.
