SUMMARY
I am a highly motivated firmware developer engineer with a proven track record in specification, design and development of firmware for communication systems and real time embedded systems. I am also self motivated to work independently or as a part of a team and keen to learn new things.
CAREER HISTORY
Firmware Developer Engineer August 2010 – June 2012
Marvell Hispania S.L. Paterna, Valencia (SPAIN)
MHSL which is part of the multinational Marvell Semiconductor Inc. provides high speed semiconductor solutions for power-line communications. The R&D department designs Power-line Communication Integrated Circuits and develops FW features for them, especially network protocols.
Responsibilities:
As a member of the Software Platform team, mainly in charge of architecture design and maintenance, framework features development, as well as test and provide new tools to improve quality and productivity:
• Specification, design, development and debug FW features and protocols running into PLC modems.
• Verification and review the code and architecture of firmware designed by other FW engineers to ensure quality, mantainability and reuse.
• Create or integrate new tools to improve internal procedures and automate frequent tasks in order to follow Continuous Integration methods (Hudson/Jenkins, Lint, Indent, Makefiles…).
As a member of the Validation Platform team, mainly in charge of architecture and automation of tests to validate and verify the quality of the HW and FW on the chips:
• Specification, design and development of libraries for automated tests coded in Perl and Python, both in custom ATF (Automated Testing Framework) platform and in RobotFramework open-source ATF.
• Improve performance of Perl automated tests.
• Debug and troubleshoot test bugs both in a private Perl-based platform and in a RobotFramework platform.

Firmware Developer Engineer June 2008 - August 2010
Design of Systems on Silicon, S.A. (DS2) Paterna, Valencia (SPAIN)
DS2 was a provider of high speed semiconductor solutions for power-line communications. The R&D team in DS2 designed and developed Power-line Communication Integrated Circuits.
Responsibilities:
• Worked as Integration Manager, managing versions on the control versioning system (CVS), integrating different solved bugs, deciding the versions to be tested daily and taking metrics to analyze afterwards to continuously improve the integration procedure.
• Provide support to the introduction of a new Document Management System in the company, developing automated tools to migrate from the old platform to the new one.
• Design and implement an internal procedure to run a Static Code Analisis tool on a differential mode.
Scholar at Emory University School of Medicine August 2007 – March 2008
Children’s Research Center Atlanta (USA)
Image reconstruction research – Master Thesis Project:
• Investigate additional acceleration of Dynamic MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), requiring a strong knowledge in signal processing and image processing in the frequency domain.
• Implement new mathematical algorithms in Matlab to improve the acquisition process in Cardiac MRI and improve performance of algorithms inherited from prior investigations within the group.
• Writing several conference abstracts on the results achieved.
