Multicore Architecture Lead

o Oversaw safe software migration from a single CPU core to multiple cores for large body of software. This large and complex effort and its implementation was recognized as one of the most seamless and pain-free among all architecture initiatives within Qualcomm. o Served as Qualcomm POC for Multicore Association (MCA) Standards Group. o Researched feasibility of GPU-based general purpose computing using OpenCL, assisting with the prototype and architecture. The prototype demonstrated positive results in a specific class of problems.

Power / Thermal Architect

o Led innovation in this core area, co-authoring several patents. Established smart ways of performing Dynamic Clock and Voltage Scaling (DCVS) that saved battery power without sacrificing user experience. Developed intelligent ways to deliver Thermal Mitigation, which was critical when multiple cores of high-performing CPUs are used along with GPUs, DSPs, and other processing engines. o Helped architect power / thermal software that spanned all tiers of chipsets.

Qualcomm Parallel IDE / Profiler Lead

o Developed a prototype of Eclipse-based hardware profiler, migrating a browser-based platform to use Eclipse instead, for closer integration with software.

Internet of Things (IoT) Coexistence Lead

o Researched BT, BLE, 802.11, 802.15.4 coexistence to figure out what kinds of applications could be run simultaneously without integrating additional hardware as cost was a constraint for this IOT device.

Security Subsystem Lead

o Developed Qualcomm Secure Execution Environment (QSEE), including APIs for the secure applications to use, and implemented them in a way to provide applications access to only those APIs that they had privilege to access. This solution is currently being used to bring secure application authoring ability to the masses. Senior Staff Engineer / Manager 2001 to 2008

Owned Qualcomm’s Java solution (QVM) product. Managed a large team which consistently delivered on time and with quality year after year. Oversaw development, testing, product marketing, program management, and customer engineering. Gathered customer requirements by visiting customers worldwide, and collaborated with product marketing / sales.

Launched QVM project, building it from scratch to a business that generated multi-million-dollar revenue.

Managed multi-site development, including Boulder, San Diego, UK, and India, overcoming the challenges of virtual teamwork.

Traveled to OEMs / SPs overseas (Korea, China, Japan, UK, Germany, France, Italy) to support product marketing. Staff Engineer / Senior Engineer / Manager 1995 to 2001 Contributed as a developer to Globalstar satellite system program. Wrote all Globalstar User Modem (GUM) drivers and GUM Software interface document. Led Globalstar AMPS (analog) and system determination subsystems. ORIGINAL WORK (https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=7Tk9veYAAAAJ)

20 US patents in key areas of power saving and thermal mitigation for wireless devices.

15+ Journal / Conference peer reviewed papers.
