• 20 years industry Experience in ASIC Verfiication and embedded firmware
    for audio(Isochronous USB handheld audio players), disc drives(ATA and
    SCSI, and imaging products(digital still camera).  

  • I've been frequently called a "bridge person" because I bridge the gap
    between hardware and software -- working on chip architecture,
    verification, tools, writing the actual firmware and bringing up new
    hardware.  Single Point Source is my software version of "bridging" the
    gap between groups.         



  • 15 for 15 successful SOCs  were functional on first silicon.

  • Modeling experience with VHDL (wrote a 80C196 fully functionally model
    with the ability to run 'C' tests in simulation - over 13 years ago!) , IrDA,
    UART I2S, S/PDif, and many Imaging tools (Bayer to RGB Interpolation,
    CMOS Sensor modelling, Decimation and matching algortihms written for
    the DSP, Defective Pixel Correction by myself on the customized DSP).

  • DSP cycle accurate modelling for custom video DSP (VLIW and SIMD)
    written in C++.

  • Board bring-up of new silicon and new RDK (Reference Design Kit) or    
    SDK(Software Design kit).

  • To make developing systems easier, I have developed many tools such as
    SPS.

  • TI 6713, Code Composer and TI RTOS as a system controller with an in-
    house FPGA for audio enhancements.

  • Precise RTOS with embedded ARC microprocessor for a custom SoC for
    audio devices (using Isochronous  USB).
