Design and development of non-line-of-sight point-to-point wireless system intended for back haul of small cellular base stations. Embedded systems development on multi-core architecture (ARM cores and Tensilica network processors) using Linux, ThreadX and bare processors. Designed and implemented SNMP agent, header compression scheme for the airlink.

Burnsville, MN

Initiated design and development of "eProvision", next generation of provisioning system for Expedience wireless broadband system. System design for airlink encryption feature. Introduced new media access control mechanism for reduced latency and increased capacity.

Burnsville, MN

System Engineering for the NextNet Expedience System.Worked on maximizing the throughput over the RF link.Worked on development of small form factor WiMAX base station.

Burnsville, MN

Created and staffed new systems engineering group tasked with new feature development and product enhancement. Enhanced system performance by prototyping, testing and evaluating using a small fleet of devices in a dedicated lab environment.

Burnsville, MN

Enabled rollout of wireless broadband access system in numerous cities across the US, Canada, and Mexico. Design and development of back office applications for device authentication and billing, embedded software for high-speed wireless data communications. Supervised development teams. Insured customer satisfaction by clearly communicating engineering.

Bloomington, MN

Supervised development team of 6. Continued product development and innovation: doubled the RF link transfer speed, added features to support revenue model of multiple ISPs, increased revenue per customer by designing and implementing a low-latency protocol to carry VoIP. Enabled rapid integration with customer provisioning applications by use of XML/SOAP.

Edina, MN

Development of wireless broadband access system, including link layer MAC protocol. Used SDL and UML tools to design and simulate various aspects of the design. Used iterative development, continual performance testing, and frequent builds in order to achieve high quality and on-time feature delivery in an aggressive entrepreneurial development environment.

Edina, MN

Ongoing development and customer integration of a store-and-forward message switch with an interesting (perhaps somewhat odd) database interface. Took personal responsibility for a large customer account, solved problems and wrapped up a successful project. Responsible for design and development of new product to provide access to metro wireless systems.

Burnsville, MN

Design and development of a middle ware layer to permit applications to run over a variety of wireless networks (RAM Mobile Data, Ardis, CDPD) from both DOS and Windows, as well as Unix.

Roseville, MN

Design and development of networking software for NCR Comten communication processors, which served as the front-end to a mainframe computer. Also did some Unix development. Received Outstanding Achievement Award in 1988.

Ms, Telecommunications, 4.0

Thesis paper was a proposal for a communication link multiple access protocol that dynamically adjusted priorities to insure equitable.
