A little bit about me
After spending more than 30 years in the computer industry designing microprocessors, I took on a new career teaching computer science in 2017. I've had a variety of technical and management roles from design for test engineer, CAD tool developer, logic designer, project manager, and computer architect.
I've worked at a variety of companies from very large (AT&T) to very small (QED and Thought Wrench LLC). Â Past projects include computer networking (packet switching equipment), personal UNIX machines, an ECL Sparc processor, the MIPS R4000, QED 4600, 4650, 5000, 7000, 9000, 603Q, x86 compatible processor at a startup-company, CC-NUMA controller chip, Cavium security processors, Cavium MIPS processors, Cavium ARM processors.
My technical interests include: computer architecture, high performance computing, computer systems, heterogenous computing, parallel computation, logic design, the interaction of hardware and software.
I'm a recreational walking/hiker, cyclist and singer/guitar/ukulele player.
