Professional summary
With over two decades of experience in system design and implementation, I’ve specialized in WiFi standards, CDMA/UMTS handheld devices, and smartphone development on Android and Linux platforms. Along the way, I’ve worked extensively with PCIe and USB-based WiFi hardware, focusing on integration rather than driver development, and honed my skills on Broadcom projects within Linux/RTOS environments. I’m passionate about leveraging this deep technical background to build robust, innovative solutions that enhance wireless communication and user experiences.
