Bio
S Wu
I worked with Scott at both Mobility and Avocent. Scott is very good at all aspects of ASIC development, be it desgin coding (Verilog, VHDL), test bench/verification, or back-end synthesis, timing analysis and gate level simulation. He is also very good at Perl and scripting. Helped automate a lot of the tasks. In addition to the the normal ASIC design/development tasks, Scott also performed system admin work managing network, VPN, CAD tools and libraries for our satellite office. He has always completed assignments in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Scott.
Robert Abrant, MSEE, P.E.
I worked with Scott at VLSI Technology designing ASICs for consumer electronics and industrial applications. Scott was very knowledgeable, conscientious, and detailed in his engineering work. His HW and SW technical expertise and proficiency with many CAD tools helped deliver high quality, complex customer designs on aggressive schedules. I enjoyed working with Scott and would welcome him in a design team.
