Endurance racing team sponsored by Gigantic Brewing, specializing in cheap and local racing. Competes for class wins in Lucky Dog Racing League in a 1981 Mazda RX-7.My current projects for improvements:- Rear jacking point frame to ease and speed up raising the car for maintenance.Completed projects:- Designed brake rotor hats that mount Wilwood rotors.- Designed brake caliper brackets to accept Wilwood calipers.- 3D printed front brake duct adapters to connect a smaller hose.- 3D printed front brake ducts mounted into existing front turn signal location.

Vancouver, Washington, United States

Developed firmware for HP Jet Fusion 500/300 Series 3D Printers. Both high level and low level development. Prototyped communication protocol library for a new sensor device that can be daisy-chained with hundreds of others. Designed and implemented new communication protocol library to integrate legacy code with existing hardware device over a new interface, effectively running I2C commuications over a CAN bus.Mentored one new hire, pair programmed to get them up to speed quickly on a new-to-them code base.Helped analyze options for communicating from the host OS to the engine firmware across PCIe.

Technical Lead for Larrabee and second gen Xeon Phi BIOS development. Trained and mentored 3 new hires. Created BIOS from scratch, ultimately responsible for developing ~80% of final product. Reduced memory training time by an order of magnitude over architectural design as well as improved maintainability and robustness. Converted Silicon Validation (SV) team to use actual BIOS instead of their own loader and brought in SV developers to BIOS team to share code development. Supported power-on activities for 4 generations and led power-on activities for 3 generations of Larrabee/Xeon Phi. Worked closely across geographies with emulation team to path clear software performance benchmarking, and trained all future users of the emulator. Avid supporter for secure code development.UEFI BIOS power management and emulation lead for third and fourth gen Xeon Phi. Collaborated with hardware architects to define power management requirements and update architectural specifications, then implemented code to satisfy said requirements. Led BIOS validation efforts on emulation with periodic release schedule to pave way for silicon validation teams to validate RTL. Anticipated issues with memory functionality during power-on and drove project to support running with only one of the two installed memory types functioning before it became apparent that supply issues would force us to only use one type, eliminating any downtime and allowing power-on to progress. Drove BIOS team to auto-generate register definition structures directly from RTL definitions, ensuring BIOS/RTL compatibility and improving BIOS reliability and maintainability. Introduced and drove Scrum planning to keep team focused and aware of ongoing development/issues.

Display driver developer responsible for adding new functionality to existing video drivers. Worked closely with hardware architects and acted as a communication bridge between hardware and software engineers to help with design requirements. Software support lead for hardware architects during video card prototyping. Designed and implemented driver support for several hardware features such as: ChanLock® – a method to swap frame buffers simultaneously across multiple video cards; stereoscopic vision for non­-stereoscopic applications to simplify third party application development; quad­-buffered stereoscopic vision to improve performance over dual buffers.Created and maintained graphical user interface using MFC to enable and disable video cardspecific features. Co-­authored custom video mode interface for non­-VESA compliant display devices. Authored and reviewed design documents using company defined metrics and then co-­authored Linux drivers and user interface for video combiner (RVP) card.
