Principal Designer, Cube Vision Technologies Inc, Jan 2007 to now: Developed video scaler and motion adaptive/compensated de-interlacing. The FPGA IPs have been licensed to OEMs in the broadcast industry including AJA, Barco, Christie Digital, Harmonic and other video display companies. FPGA IP platform demos are available to show superior video quality by our proprietary video processing technology, competing with VXP and HQV video processors. Through FPGA IPs I provided and my FPGA consulting design services in last 9 years, I am very family with FPGA product families including Xilinx Kintex7, Virtex7, Zynq, and Altera devices and tools including Verilog/VHDL, Vivado, Modelsim, Matlab, FPGA debugging tools, c/c++ for high level synthesis. With my Ph.D in digital signal processing, I have deep understanding of digital signal processing and Knowledge in Microprocessors, hardware and firmware, real-time systems, and analog/digital designs.
