         Efficaciously completed a DO-254 Level C design currently in flight to this day

         Completed the FPGA design and embedded software for over 15 boards; released for production with 
minimal field issues

         Drove a transition between embedded software, ASIC/FPGA design and Windows GUI 
application development based on company need and personal drive to learn


         Co-developed the HBIT Operating System (HOS) while at Honeywell, a process still in use that notably decreased run-time and test development duration compared to the previously-utilized operating system

         Successfully designed a board and related software that started a car via cell phone

         Onboarded by the company to complete a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA design for an airborne application that is certified to DO-254 Level C; included RTL design, documentation and verification

         Presently oversee FPGA design, embedded software and the majority of Windows GUI application development efforts

         Fulfilled over 15 projects thus far that involve writing VHDL for Xilinx FPGAs, most with embedded Microblaze or PowerPC 405 processors

         Interface designs to avionics standard busses and include the ability to record to microSD and Compact Flash cards

         Created and utilize the logic design of advanced Gigabit Ethernet, stepper and micro-stepper motor controllers, along with a variable-frequency sine wave generator and an improved iteration of the Motorola Time Processing Unit. 


         Embedded software tasks and write software in C for Microblaze and PowerPC processors running in the Xilinx FPGAs

o   Craft software that handles hardware configuration and TCP/IP communication efforts

o   Manage FAT16/FAT32 file system used to record and playback data

         Created over 10 Windows GUI applications in C++ thus far, used for real-time data acquisition and production testing

o   Applications interface to company-developed hardware or National Instruments cards and chassis

o   Windows applications are developed under Embarcadero C++ Builder or Microsoft Visual Studio. 


         Served in an integral capacity to sustain and expand business by offering high-caliber design support to local clients and key suppliers spanning across Xilinx, Analog Devices and National Semiconductor via Atmel, Renesas and Infineon

         Gained certification in Xilinx Bronze and Silver, comprised of factory training lasting four weeks 


         Underwent Analog Devices Advanced Processor Specialist Training; delivered sole coverage for the Southwest 
Territory using specialized support centered on SHARC and Blackfin digital signal processors

         Received ongoing training from all suppliers to diversify and further extend personal knowledge base

o   Became an expert on power supplies, RF, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, analog circuit design and processor functions

o   Also gained acumen in DSPs, motor control, audio/video encoding/decoding and integrated MEMS sensors

         Recruited by company to spearhead firmware design efforts for custom security processing ASICs

         Transitioned as a member of the ASIC team for RTL design while still simultaneously fulfilling firmware responsibilities

         Owned a total of eight RTL modules in the CR7130 security processor

         Performed ASIC tasks e.g. the Verilog design, broad unit-level testing, synthesis and timing analysis

o   Also facilitated gate-level simulations and authored assessments for full-chip verification

o   Documented all processes with detail and precision

         Crafted all firmware for security processing ASICs; included multiple embedded RISC processors running in parallel

         Worked in conjunction with the ASIC team to run full-chip RTL simulations

o   Established firmware s purpose by parsing through IP packets

o   Performed firewall and IPSec-related tasks

o   Fed data into an encryption engine

         Devised extensive test tools in C and C++ to model chip functionality alongside an instruction-set simulator; allowed firmware to be tested thoroughly prior to release, thus saving significant debug time


         Developed software in C and Intel x86 assembly for debug and verification of business and avionics hardware systems

         Co-developed the HBIT Operating System (HOS)

o   Allowed a PC to communicate straightforwardly with test hardware over Ethernet with nominal overhead

o   Wrote a TCP/IP stack in C that supported FTP, Telnet, and ICMP protocols

         Devised debug/test code for Ethernet Controllers, real-time clocks, temperature sensors, watchdog timers, 
graphics processors, DSP chips, DRAM, EEPROM, and Flash memories
