PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

. SolarBridge Technologies - Ported the C implementation of the Blowfish

encryption algorithm to the TI TMS320F2808 DSP as part of a RAM Resident

Loader.

. Dell Computer Corp. - Developed firmware for the Integrated Dell Remote

Access Controller (iDRAC) systems management software.

. Advance Micro Devices - Developed firmware to show the capabilities of

the Advanced Platform Management Link (APML). APML is a SMBus v2.0

compatible 2-wire processor slave interface that was developed to allow a

Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) designed to use the AMD defined

Open Platform Management Architecture (OPMA) direct access to next

generation AMD microprocessors.

. Advance Micro Devices - Worked with I2C and IPMI protocols along with

the Bios and Kernel Developer Guide (BKDG) for the AMD Family 10h

Processor while writing firmware to access internal microprocessor

resources and server subsystems.

. Advance Micro Devices - Designed and implemented software to test the

Serial Transport portion of a vendor supplied Management Component

Transport Protocol (MCTP) firmware stack written for AMD. The protocol is

intended to be used for intercommunication between elements of platform

management subsystems used in a computer system

. Ultra Electronics - Developed a message generation tool and its Graphical

User Interface (GUI) for use in testing the Common Link Integration

Processing (CLIP) communication software. The rules to build the message

were contained in an XML data base.

. Ultra Electronics - Ported drivers from new vendor for a VME MIL-STD-1553

card for the Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS)

software module in the Air Defense Systems Integrator (ADSI) software.

MIDS is the NATO name for the communication component of Link-16 military

inter-computer data exchange format.

. BAE SYSTEMS - Responsible for development of the Board Support Package

(BSP) and communication interface firmware for the JCAD (Joint Chemical

Agent Detector) product. This design was finished on schedule to

facilitate debug of chemical detection algorithms by enabling down

loading of engineering data.

. MOTOROLA - Developed the software for the Motorola SDI (Serial Debug

Interface). This product was an embedded application utilizing Motorola's

RTEK (Real Time Executive Kernel) to run a TCP/IP socket interface to

allow software developers to download and debug application software from

their PC over the Ethernet.

. MOTOROLA - Systems architect for L-bus/InterModule Bus (IMB2) interface

on the Ford PTEC (Power Train & Engine Controller - MPC500) project.

. MOTOROLA - Developed Verilog RTL models for functional verification of

both the Ford PTEC (Power Train & Engine Controller - MPC500) and MC68332

micro-controller design projects. This included writing C programs and

shell scripts to interface different software models together.

. MOTOROLA - Designed test card for the functional evaluation of the

MC68332 micro-controller. This involved interfacing to a VME bus and

modifying device drivers to get the card to communicate with the SUN OS

(UNIX).
