Senior Engineer

• May 2001 - Aug 2003

Re-architected and supervised implementation of an extremely fast and robust RLC/MAC protocols used in 3G test-equipments at early stages of 3G infrastructure development. The re-architecting of the product prevented the company from losing key customers and won new customers and a consortium of Taiwanese telecom industry through ITRI. Developed layer 2/ RABm protocol conformance test-suites and protocol testing infrastructure resulting in improved software quality and robustness winning praise from many customers. Developed intellectual property for significantly reducing power consumption in 3G handsets.
