SUMMARY

I am a contract programmer with more than 30 years hardware and software experience designing and building embedded systems.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

For the last 13 years, I have been writing C and assembly-level programs for MIPS CPUs. During this time, I have completed the following projects:

• Created a database-driven website using Perl www.carmel.com
• Wrote a VRTX BSP for MIPS' Malta board
• Ported the Algorithmics' PMON to customer's NEC 4121 board
• Wrote a VRTX BSP for MIPS' Sead board
• Ported VRTXmc to the MIPS 4KC
• Wrote a PMON device driver for Realtek 8139 Ethernet controller
• Ported the Algorithmics' PMON to customer's QED 5231 board
• Rewrote portions of C in MIPS Assembly for performance-tuning for a VoIP application
• Ported MIPS' YAMON to customer's 4KC board and wrote console driver
• Wrote Win32 DLLs that provide an interface between commercial source-level debuggers and a target system
• Wrote a graphical application using GTK+ that ran on Windows and Unix.
• Wrote a port of the uC/OS multitasking kernel for the MIPS32 architecture
• Wrote a 3-day training class on programming the MIPS architecture
• Wrote a PROM-based debug monitor for the MIPS architecture (PMON)
• Wrote interrupt-driven and polled drivers for 2681, 16550, & 8530 DUARTS
• Wrote standalone Ethernet/UDP software using National's SONIC and AMD's Am79970 for downloading via Unix's tftp command
• Wrote board support packages for the VRTX, C-EXECUTIVE, pSOS, and VxWorks real-time operating systems
• Wrote host-resident tools for Unix and Win9x to assist in downloading and debugging
• Wrote drivers for various NVRAM and flash EPROM devices
• Coauthored a book published by Morgan Koffmann in 1994 entitled "The MIPS Programmer's Handbook"
• Provided software phone support for LSI Logic's LR4xxxx family of MIPS-compatible microprocessors
