PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Over the course of 20+ years in the high-tech / semiconductor industry, I

exhibited strong analytical, problem solving, and leadership skills while

serving in management and engineering roles within startup and established

enterprises. My expertise encompasses management of engineering resources

in hardware and software, process/methodology development, project

planning, budgeting, contract negotiations, client/investor relations,

establishing a DSP design center and staffing it. I am adept at

identifying opportunities, working with multi-functional, geographically-

dispersed teams, and facilitating continuous process improvement. I hold

PMP certification and Master of Science degree in electrical and computer

engineering (microelectronics). Key professional highlights include the

following:

Digital IC Design & Verification - Micro-architecture - Computer

Architecture - Custom/Semicustom SOC - Planning & Budgeting - HW/SW

Procurement - IT management - Product Development Management - Physical

Layout & Schematics - SOC/ASIC Methodology - Re-Use Methodology - IP

Library Development - Low Power / High Performance - MPU/MCU/DSP/CMMU -

Memories/Subsystems Technical Project Management - Project/Program

Management - PMP Certified - Hardware/Software - Multifunctional

Interaction - Contract Negotiation - Facilitation - Business Analysis -

Global Team Interaction

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

> Established a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) design center in Austin

for Analog Devices, Inc (ADI)

> Ensured completion and tapeout of the company's latest-generation

floating point DSP product, which went into production on first

tapeout, first silicon within 18 months after establishing the new DSP

design center.

> Guided the design and introduction of SoC design and verification

methodologies, which were shared with four other design centers in the

US, Israel, and India

> Instrumental in proposing and initiating a joint development and co-

managing efforts between ADI and Intel teams in Austin, TX, that

resulted in the development of the Blackfin DSP core, which was later

used in ADI's Blackfin products and Intel's Xscale products with

several successful derivative products by both companies

> Upgraded the product development management process for ADI's DSP

division, from new product proposal to product release

> As Project/Program manager, also facilitated rollout of the new

process on Blackfin core-based DSP and wireless products

> Collaborated with design centers in Asia and the US to migrate,

assimilate, and transition technologies upon the acquisition of Analog

Devices Inc. (ADI) Wireless Division by Mediatek Wireless

> Directed geographically dispersed engineering efforts in implementing

wireless product designs as well as migrating tools and methodologies,

including IO libraries

> Led multidisciplinary teams at ADI in implementing advanced and

competitive technologies for re-use and global delivery, including IO

libraries that helped reduce silicon die size over 16.8% and saved the

company an estimated $300M+ in less than two years

> Principal IC Designer /Manager for Motorola's PowerPC 620

microprocessor, circuit design (custom and semi-custom ASIC SOC), and

timing optimization

> Technical Team Lead for Motorola's M88K RISC Processors and Cache

Memory Management (CMMU) and hyperSPARC processors and Cache MMU

designs at Ross Technology/Cypress Semiconductor

meetings and activities

Analog Devices, Inc (ADI)

1996 - 2008

Senior Staff Member (Advanced Technology Development & Project Manager)

2003 - 2008

> Led a multidisciplinary team from several departments and divisions to

implement advanced and competitive technologies for global delivery

> Technologies were oriented toward ADI internal use and reuse of

competitive leading-edge IO Libraries. These libraries were quickly

adopted by various divisions in digital, analog, mixed signal, and RF

products. They reduced silicon die size by an average of 16.8% over

traditional methods used at the time

> Hosted several workshops, which aided in accelerating the reuse of the

new IO libraries and was quickly migrated to various process

technologies from 0.35um to 40nm within ADI

> Company cost savings within less than 2 years were in excess of $300M

(estimate) due to silicon size reduction alone and based on ~48

products across various divisions of the company. A similar library

was later implemented, made commercially available and supported by

TSMC

> Provided technical consultation and mentorship in the use and

implementation of this technology in Digital Base Band products for

ADI's Wireless & RF Division with global teams in US, Europe, & Asia

Senior Staff Member (Product Development Management & Program Manager)

2001 - 2003

> Co-Lead of a multidisciplinary senior team in upgrading the DSP

division's Product Development Management process. This covered the

entire development cycle from New Product Proposal, Product Release to

Production, including product End of Life-Cycle

> Facilitated the roll-out of the new management process on first two

successful DSP products with multifunctional teams, geographically

dispersed

> Facilitated team meetings, and communications with upper management

and stakeholders

DSP Design Center Manager (Director of Engineering & Project manager)

1996 - 2001

> Established the Austin DSP design center in 1996, and directed the

engineering team in the design, implementation and verification

efforts to a successful completion and tapeout of ADI's next

generation Floating Point DSP Product (hammerhead), went into

production on first silicon.

> Directed the engineering efforts in developing and introducing

advanced SOC design and verification methodologies, led, shared and

exchanged methodologies and tools with 4 other DSP design centers

within the company in the US, Israel and India

> In search for funding solutions for ADI's internal New Instruction Set

Architecture, for a leading edge DSP core technology, was instrumental

in initiating a joint development effort between ADI and Intel which

eventually led to the development of the BLACKFIN DSP core that was

later used in all of ADI's Blackfin products and Intel's Xscale

products with several derivatives
