WORK EXPERIENCE


TEKTRONIX SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR MPEG2 CODEC, 3 / 97 - 9 / 97
Tektronix Inc, Advanced Development -- Beaverton, Oregon

Wrote the software driver for a prototype MPEG2 decoder board.
Designed a feedback algorithm to correct clock drift between an MPEG2 encoder / decoder
pair connected via ATM.
Extracted uncompressed audio from the on-board audio mezzanine and gathered CPU
utilization data to determine the system requirements as the audio is scaled up.
Wrote software which retrieves the raw data sent out on the video vertical blanking interval
and parses that data to extract formatted closed captioning.
Setup demos and wrote software which allowed Tektronix to demonstrate low latency video
over ATM at trade shows like SuperComm.


INTEL FIBRE CHANNEL DEVELOPMENT, Summer 1996
Intel Corporation -- Hillsboro, Oregon

Investigated Fibre Channel as a cost effective, Gigabit per second I/O solution for
Intel's scalable, parallel servers.
Integrated Fibre Channel hardware from a variety of OEMs into a test station from which
loop integrity, bandwidth, and throughput of data transfers can be examined.
Helped to implement tests that enable Intel to compare Fibre Channel to other common I/O
platforms, such as SCSI, Ultra SCSI, and PCI.
Gave considerable feedback to vendors of prototype Fibre Channel hardware to help ensure
that the industry continues its rapid Fibre Channel development and that Intel will be
in a position to take advantage of that technology.


INTEL SSD SUMMER INTERN, Summer 1995
Intel Corporation -- Hillsboro, Oregon

Internship in the Scalable Systems Division of Intel building, testing, and integrating
the Intel Scalable Parallel Multimedia Server.
Helped to scale the parallel multiple processor / multiple disk system on which the
Media Server operates.
Worked with and tested prototype compute nodes driven by state-of-the-art P6 processors
utilizing ATM OC-3 technology.
Custom installation of off site systems for Intel customers
Organized and kept inventory control of the hardware in the IMS laboratory


CAM PROGRAMMER / WATER-JET OPERATOR, Summer 1994
Hegar Manufacturing, Inc. -- Portland, Oregon

Programming of ultra-high pressure water-jet cutting system using Computer Aided
Manufacturing
Operation and upkeep of water-jet machinery
Successfully assumed complete responsibility for shipping/receiving and sales for a
period of one and a half months
