I have developed software, firmware, and electronic hardware including analog circuits, digital circuits, and electronic microcontroller-based devices, for a variety of applications, including light detection, sensing industrial valve position using magneto-resistive devices, diagnosing under-the-hood automotive sensors, detecting phosphorescence, measuring the height of river water, charging batteries for an orthopedic tool, and testing furnace igniters. I've designed servo systems, data detectors, signal processors, and test systems for magnetic disk and CD, DVD, Magneto-Optical (MO), and WORM optical disc technologies, and I've designed computer peripheral devices for PC, EISA, VME, and proprietary data busses. I have evaluated product design and performance and have characterized electronic and electro-mechanical components for performance and failure. The table below highlights many of the skills and areas of expertise that I've applied to these projects.
