• Developed and debugged Embedded SW and Drivers in C, C++ and IDL for a new chipset (dual CPU ARM based architecture).
• Had sole responsibility for all Audio SW deliverables for a Smartphone project with Motorola.
• Obtained good familiarity and detailed low-level knowledge of the Linux OS Kernel and WCDMA Layer 1.

• Key member of the Sanlitun project (T7-00, 702T series) - Nokia’s new platform for its biggest market - China.
• Received Nokia Award from the Director of Audio.
• Had sole responsibility for the development and testing of all Nokia’s Audio Driver SW for interaction between the host processor and new ST-Ericsson Cellular Modem during all TD-SCDMA and GSM VoiceCall use-cases.
• Custom communication protocol between the TI and ARM processors, exception handlers for faults such as packet collision, SW / HW race-conditions, overflow, timing-drift handler between phone and network (using.
• Devised a development platform/test bench, where I ran my own simulation of ST-E's driver SW on one phone, connected to another phone running my SW. Both phones were debugged simultaneously on the same PC via their.
• Independently developed an optimization for Nokia's legacy Hands-Portable HW Driver Algorithm; significantly reduced MIPS and saved 2 KBytes of RAM.

• Consulting Investment Funds and Capital Management companies on the Semiconductor IC Industry over the telephone.
• Membership usually only given to industry veterans, although through close interaction with many CEOs & VPs I’ve formed the required knowledge & understanding.
• 30-45 minute consultations at $350-250/hour.
• Clients so far include Merrill Lynch, Level Global, Alkeon Capital, Brookside Capital, Maverick Capital, Glenview Capital.

• Independently developed the industry's leading implementation of the MPEG-4 Parametric Stereo (AAC-Plus v2) Audio Codec.
• The best implementation in the industry: 24-bit processor, 21-25 MIPS, 2K Data RAM (24-bit, PS specific), 0.6K Data Flash (16-bit, PS specific).
• Developed one of the industry's leading implementations of the MPEG-4 Spectral Band Replication (AAC-Plus v1) Audio Codec.
• One of the best implementations in the industry: 24-bit processor, 20-22 MIPS, 8K Data RAM (24-bit, SBR Specific), 2K Data Flash (16-bit, SBR specific).
• Developed optimal IEEE Double Precision Floating Point library for use in GPS and other applications.

• Designed and developed programmable parallel DSP (Control and Data path) and associated Compiler for 3D graphics acceleration; developed a demo of the processor’s acceleration of OpenGL.
• The project involved designing a fully programmable processor, with features such as memory management, a scoreboard and an optimal and compact controller designed to run Nested-loop programs on the processor.
• Optimized DSP algorithms to run on my architecture using data-flow transformations such as Unrolling and Skewing to produce Systolic and Transposed like implementations. Used code-reduction techniques such as.

• Trained in how to design and develop several application specific VLIW parallel processing cores using the ARM OptimoDE development tools (based on the earlier ART Designer tools from Adelante).
• Developed an infrastructure around the ARM-Synopsys reference methodology (RTL to GDS2) in the UNIX environment using the Perl based file parsing system.
• This Infrastructure is now used by ARM for automated script and database maintenance and updating.
• Wrote a group of scripts in Perl to autonomously control an entire or partial run through of ARM’s Design Implementation flow (Synopsys and Astro tools), and subsequently present the performance specifications met in a.
• These scripts are now used by ARM to run the flow overnight and build up a profile of new processors using idle computing resources.

• Independently tailored and delivered a pitch of the ARM licensing model to the CEOs and VPs of many companies around the world.
• Had formal meetings and conference calls to pursue discussions further with many of the companies along with senior ARM Sales personnel including VPs and Directors. ARM further pursued several such leads.
• Made an analysis of the possibility of growth in several market segments including Wireless - handset & infrastructure, Consumer-Entertainment, Automotive-Infotainment and Defense-Aerospace.
• Examined the competitive landscape as well as the likely future direction within each of the market segments. Analysis was made through conversing with many CEOs and VPs of the biggest potential new ARM customers.

• Carried out a competitive analysis for the next generation CS4000 architecture across numerous market segments.
