EXPERTISE
BIO
I have been a New Product Development Engineer for over 25 years in both hardware and firmware. I have been working intensively all of this time as an embedded developer as well as an FPGA programmer. I enjoy working on challenging new projects, and helping entrepreneurs meet their goals and expectations, to make their new product visions come true. In my free time, I enjoy riding my bicycle along the beach. Please visit for complete details: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BlvDuUeg5oYGZQNpk6DCqFXFX3GMbT31/view?usp=sharing

NOKOMIS, INC.
March 2022 - October 2023
Nokomis is a premier science and engineering development company exclusively devoted to RF SDR and signal processing for Space, military and national defense. This nationally recognized and award winning leader in this field is where I worked as an engineering consultant for 19 months, working hands-on everyday in RF. All of my work at Nokomis was somehow RF related. I used RF test equipment, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers, etc. as part of my work. Although I am not an RF engineer per se, my work here got me deeply immersed in the RF field of engineering, working with both RF engineers and RF scientists on a daily basis. • Perform firmware development for 32 bit ARM Software Defined Radio Military Applications: Xilinx, RTOS Kernal Configurable Petalinux, ARM, Vitis, C/C++/C#, Python, Java, Linux/Raspian/Debian/Bash/Ubuntu/GNU. • DSP using FIR, IIR, and FFT on raw IQ data and modulation, (working in both the Time and Frequency Domains) to produce Power Spectrum Output, performed with FPGA, as input to embedded 32-bit ARM for post-processing and qualification. • Consult on FPGA development for these applications: Vivado. • Consult on Hardware Design and Development, and PCB layout, for these applications. • CSI/CIR data, OFDM/QPSK signals, FM/FSK/PSK variants, constellation plots/eye diagrams, Xilinx USRP, GNU radio, (Python, etc.) RF libraries.

Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer
ULTRALIFE CORPORATION
July 2019 - November 2020
UltraLife is a premier RF development house for the military end of this field. Here I worked as a consulting engineer for 17 months. My work at this company was exclusively RF related. I worked with RF test equipment and analyzers as part of my work. • Performed project codebase overhauls of 2 major embedded project C code bases for military radio communications systems for 32 bit ARM. • Perform complete hardware evaluation reports on 2 major embedded PCBAs for military radio communications.
Staff Electrical / Hardware / Firmware Engineer
LANDI INDUSTRIES
November 2017 - March 2018
• New Product Development with Heavy Arduino Uno, Due/ARM, Bluetooth BLE, and WiFi firmware development. • All aspects of product development including: product/technology research, lab instrumentation, parts selection, PCB schematic capture, component analysis, firmware programming, hardware assembly, PCB layout. • Developed Arduino Data Logger hardware and firmware for the Oil and Gas Industry to monitor the Temperature, Pressure, and Strain of wellheads over a 5-year period. • Cattle RFID for the Beef Industry to Identify Cattle and transmit data via BLE to a centralized database. • Collect scale information and transmit data via BLE to a centralized database. Additionally, the central database could reprogram the scale via BLE. • Developed IT Power Switcher for all-analog hardware solution for robust power switching in the event of power outages. • Reprogramming of an extremely complex firmware implementation, using FreeRTOS, for a body-mounted device used by Marathon Runners. • Developed Bitcoin hardware and firmware using the ARM based, Due Arduino Board with high-resolution camera, 2-D barcodes are decoded and synthesized as required. Based on a customer defined UX, encryption and decryption is also implemented. • The remote, portable, distillation of custom made beverages via Wi-Fi and IOT.
