| OBJECTIVE |
|
|
To obtain a challenging position in the digital
image processing field which will utilize my extensive skills, training,
and education on a daily basis. I have a wide base of assembly and C programming
experience on several of the most common DSPs and various types of applications
ranging from audio to video, as well as a limited amount of mixed-signal
hardware design experience. |

| EXPERIENCE |
|
 |
Delphi Communication Systems, Inc.,
Maynard, MA. 6/00 - Present
Member of Technical Staff- Responsible for the design and implementation in C of a vocoder demonstration
and development system running on multiple TMS320C6201-based EVMs. The system provides a GUI-based marketing tool to
demonstrate company's various vocoders to clients in real-time while also providing the development team with an
invaluable debugging tool. Based upon the windows platform, the system is capable of changing parameters (i.e.,
vocoders, bitrates, etc.) while in use, and will be extended to allow the use of multiple vocoder instances
per processor. Supported development team with assembly programming and optimization of vocoders on several different DSPs
(ADI, TI, Motorola). Prepared feasability studies for use of MPEG-4 video codecs for set-top box and 3G cellular systems.

Polaroid ID Systems, Inc. (formerly
NBS Imaging Systems, Inc.),
West Lafayette, IN. 11/97 – 1/99
Research and Development Team Leader- Led team in design
and implementation of wavelet-based compression algorithms in C/C++ for fingerprint
images according to FBI specifications which led to their use in various
DMV’s nationwide. Created a hard-RTOS and complete operating software in assembly for
a 2nd-generation lamination machine. Redesigned, prototyped,
and tested lamination machine circuits, reducing cost and increasing reliability.

Kessler and Gehman Associates, Inc.,
Gainesville, FL. 7/92 - 8/96
Senior Draftsman- Utilized various in-house programs to generate
antenna signal interference analyses. Organized manual and CAD drafting
of buildings, tower structures, etc. Prepared exhibits of tower sites on
topographic maps. Ported FORTRAN communications study programs to C/C++.
Prepared technical documents and reports for Federal Communications Commission
and Federal Aviation Administration.
