My greatest skill is simply the ability and tenacity to learn. BSEE along with a passion for the topics led to my completing all course requirements for a PhD in both EE and Physics. Many moons ago, but the math hasn't changed, though the technology today has allowed me to have my own mini-supercomputer (go Nvidia!). Six years of DSP and RF experience with Motorola (worlds first nationwide data system while cell phones were TDMA). Three years writing assembly language to implement IEEE-compliant floating point for the Microsoft CE compilers for PPC, SH3/4 and ARM. Bare-metal, 8-bit to 64, ARM, board bring up from boot-loaders, HAL, drivers, OS (WindowsCE, mbed, FreeRTOS, Ubuntu, Windows 10 on a Galileo board...). Current projects: cardiac output monitor (device is MSP430x-based, low-power Bluetooth, cloud connectivity to private backend; respiratory diagnostic tool using an n-dimensional, orthonormal set of known sounds; fully virtualized, secure SDDC, remote smartphone access
