I'm an enthusiastic software and systems engineer with decades of experience in the telco and semiconductor industry. After a great career at Broadcom, I'm heading out on my own.
After 20+ years working for excellent employers such as Broadcom, I decided to focus more on personal interests and head out on my own.
I have worked as a software architect, systems engineer, application developer, software tester, silicon validation engineer, and customer support engineer. As any well-rounded embedded software engineer knows, these are not dedicated job titles but roles you take on as needed.
I have worked on DSL gateways, DSL PHYs, GPON MACs, TR-101 type DSL-to-ethernet aggregators, and cellphone SoCs.
On my own, I have developed a cloud-connected water level meter and a cloud-connected intercom, both full stack in the sense of handling both the hardware and the software aspects of the job.
Personal interests are in the realm of functional programming, FPGA development, retro-computing, and by extension systems that can be fully understood by a single person.
