• Lead Developer

  • Apr 2018 - May 2022

  Main developer at Suometry, responsible for software development, integration of a wide range of 3rd party libraries and profiling/performance optimization in both PC and embedded environments. ● Developed a high-performance, stable architecture in C++ and CUDA to produce real-time 360-degree stereoscopic (3D) video, depth map, and reprojection feeds with minimal latency using Suometry's patented image processing algorithms. ● Productized the architecture in an easy-to-use SDK delivered as an easy-to-integrate shared C library and ported it to Windows PC, Linux PC and Linux on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier. ● Integrated the SDK into a wide variety of demos demonstrating real-time interoperability between the SDK and 3rd party software such as NVIDIA's Argus API, camera drivers, OpenGL, C/C# bindings for the Unity game engine, GStreamer, FFmpeg, Windows Media Foundation, and other vendor-specific APIs. ● Main contact for customer onboarding, support and delivery, responsible for refining software, improving hardware and mechanical requirements, and supporting the Jetson AGX Xavier platform. ● Contributor to vcpkg: enabled CUDA-aware builds in vcpkg's FFmpeg port, making it easy for anyone to build FFmpeg with hardware acceleration. ● Experience in the use of multiple VR headset platforms (SteamVR, Oculus, Varjo). ● Authored marketing video materials.

• Senior Embedded Developer

  • Jul 2015 - Mar 2018

  Development: ● AXI and AXI-S-compatible Verilog FPGA module development to accelerate machine vision processing and actuator control using Vivado and Petalinux (Xilinx FPGAs). Implemented Linux drivers and device tree configurations for said modules. ● C and C++11/14/17 development for embedded systems, Linux drivers, desktop applications and support software. ● Medical application development and support at every level, from low-level hardware control (actuators, networking, GigEVision video capture), to application code, to research support via automated tools, to IEC 62304 - compliant documentation and design consultation. ● Integration of external C++ code and libraries to LabVIEW via its COM interface (ILVData, etc). Customer-facing: ● Maintain clarity through proactive communication of expectations and commitments. ● Document features though requirements specifications and concise user guides. ● Identify win-win opportunities to provide the customer with maximum value. ● Support lead generation and engagement.

• Senior Member of Technical Staff

  • Oct 2010 - Jul 2015

  ● Engineering lead responsible for scoping the firmware, host driver and testing effort required to achieve Wi-Fi Alliance Indoor Positioning (802.11mc) certification. ● Integrated and maintained Wi-Fi Ranging (Positioning) firmware in C, and provided a testing suite for it. ● Performed a cross-team, cross-geography, survey to gather, organize and publish OTP memory requirements ● Developed and validated DDR2/3 driver firmware (C++), pre-silicon. No major defects were found and the interface was immediately and fully usable at chip bringup. ● Developed, refactored, and validated C++ firmware for powerline networking SoCs (ARM 9), with successful pre-silicon delivery. Responsible for serial interface drivers (I2C, SPI, UART) and Ethernet MAC/PHY control over MII. ● Validated and debugged existing Boot ROM C code for Wi-Fi networking SoCs (Tensilica architecture). Significantly enhanced the documentation and test materials to facilitate handoff to future maintenance teams. ● Reduced code footprint of QoS and firmware upgrade features for low-cost product variants.

• Senior Software Engineer

  • Feb 2008 - Oct 2010

  ● Used Scrum and test-driven-development to lead a four-person team developing a toolchain to generate firmware headers, hardware and diagnostics code from register descriptions. ● Produced a C++ framework to standardize the modelling of new video algorithms. Extended the framework to use the same models in pre-silicon software simulation and constrained-random testing for ASIC verification. ● Developed and validated C firmware (MIPS) for the Simple Media Processor video processor line. ● Used Scrum and test-driven-development to lead a four-person team developing a toolchain to generate firmware headers, hardware and diagnostics code from register descriptions. ● Produced a C++ framework to standardize the modelling of new video algorithms.

Gennum Corporation (acquired by Semtech)

• Semiconductor Manufacturing
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Senior Software Engineer

  • Aug 2003 - Feb 2008

  ● Developed and validated C++ firmware (80186) under Windows for the VXP line of baseband video processing chips. Responsible for video format detection, on-screen-display, serial communication interfaces and analogue front-end control. ● Performed on-site customer support visits to collaborate on design wins and build goodwill. ● Proposed and implemented a Windows GUI diagnostics tool, enabling the customer to diagnose their own issues. ● Investigated both ASIC and board-level hardware issues to identify failure mechanisms and develop software workarounds, avoiding costly re-spins of the ASIC image processors. ● Leveraged experience gained from customer visits to produce verbal presentations, training documents, and reference design architectures, all of which were crucial in the training of the Field Application Engineer group. ● Gennum’s VXP division was acquired by Sigma Designs in 2008.
