Performance Architecture Team

Real-Time Linux Software Architect, working with Internet of Things, Client and Server Architecture to drive real-time features into the silicon planning process to make them ubiquitous across Intel offerings. Responsible for shepherding software enablement of those features into Real-Time Linux software engineering development.An Architect on Clear Linux OS building IA centric, Performance, Scalability and, Innovative features into a diverse range of cloud/client/IOT compute stacks. Supporting adoption of this Linux distribution within Intel. Contributing to stack and OS features including Graphics and Video.The Linux maintainer and decision maker for the Intel video codec stack in open source operating systems for server and clients. Drove horizontal building block approach to video stacks, enabling a layered approach with media SDKs with Intel’s own VAAPI, kernel and user mode drivers, across all Linux based operating systems. Technical leader collaborating with diverse Intel product groups, partners, and research labs to deliver truly innovative solutions around Intel processors. Codec development for VP8/9, H.264/265, MPEG2, (M)JPEG, and Video Post Processing.

ARM64 optimizations for eMAG platform / server with a focus on PHP/OpenJDK/HHVM. Analyzed and supported micro-benchmark performance with micro-architects. Presented at Linaro 2018 in Vancouver, BC. Provided Linux software input to memory system architecture development. . Added support for PERF for the eMAG in the Linux kernel and also supported ARM tools with patches to support eMAG with ARM’s debuggers.

Managed over 25 software engineers on two kernel teams and one systems engineering team. Acted as the chief architect for Garmin's Linux PND and mobile/connected platforms. Responsible for leading the engineering teams to deliver kernel, services, and system level software. Decision maker on hardware components used in designs. Delivered mobile phones to market, the first nuvi with automatic speech recognition, and DVB-H based product development. Led as primary architect for Linux platform on Garmin’s 3G mobile handset initiatives. Directed the key foundation of cutting edge consumer automotive/mobile devices at Garmin.

Brought to market Garmin’s nüvi – a Personal Travel Assistant that combines a GPS navigator, language translator and travel guide capability, an MP3 player, an audio book player, a currency and measurement converter, a world clock, and a digital photo organizer – all in one slim, sleek, and easy-to-use device. Initial products included nuvi 300, 350, 360. The line has been the most successful product line in Garmin history.

Brought to market Garmin’s first portable aviation and marine products based on ARM processors including integrated GPS navigation and cartography. Led team that handled all embedded software development for the GPSmap 96/76 handheld aviation/marine navigators, GPSmap 296/276, 396/376 portable aviation/marine navigators.

Developed software in C, C++, and Assembly language for Garmin GPS navigation products including Garmin's first Palm PDA using ARM processors based on the ARM7TDMI, ARM9 cores as well as Xscale processors. Work touched on hardware manager, control/display processing, tracking, simulators, and math libraries. Tested software using ARM debuggers, JTAG emulators, simulators, and logic analyzers.

Digitial television (HD) software decode work including development of a Variable Length Decoder (VLD) in Assembly and C++ and optimized Drift Reduction filter kernel in assembly.

i960 JX core and ASIC modeling, development and validation in VHDL/C++.

ASIC design work for various projects including VMEbus single board computer and Graphics Drawing Processor (GDP) for heads-up display.
