Senior Electrical Engineer and Algorithm Specialist with seven years of experience in digital signal processing and a significant foundation in hardware and software is experienced in independently designing as well as leading teams towards highest quality execution of complex projects through their full life cycle. Consummately meticulous individual possessing exceptional mental agility and a keen eye for interesting connections thrives on opportunities to tackle difficult problems, acquire new areas of expertise, and craft then implement innovative solutions. Seeking cutting-edge technical leadership position in a fast-paced collaborative work environment. Eligible to work for any employer in the US.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Solution-Focused Innovator. Led a multi-discipline project to a timely and successful conclusion by implementing a new theoretical solution to a known problem; designed hardware datapaths; led the hardware implementation team; wrote and optimized algorithms in Matlab, then worked with the software team to run them on the computer; wrote several GUIs to display the performance in a lab setting and to clearly and effectively present results to the client.

Highly Methodical and Organized. Designed, compiled, prioritized, arranged, and implemented code patches and tools from various developers and projects into a single, ordered, well documented, and unified fully digital signal simulation suited to performance predictive application for a variety of future projects.

Driven to Acquire Deep Understanding and Expertise. Designed signal processing data paths for advanced digital receivers over FPGA, including technical and interface definition and lab tests; designed the receivers for several major projects each of which included FFT channelizers, matched filters, detectors, and reduction of special interruptions; became known as expert in dealing with this type of enhanced receiver.
