More importantly, Quake was released.
Really should have nabbed some real estate... a crying shame that I was in the sixth grade.
One year of a dual Computer Science/Applied Math major completed. Dean's List.
Switched to Computer Engineering and Applied Math. I like hardware.
Worked as a Student Engineer at a small avionics company in Buffalo, NY. Some PHY level reverse engineering, SPI/MIPI DSI drivers in C, and a GUI in Python. Went from drawing board to shipping product in 3 month's time.
Pomp and Circumstance, I'm now officially a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Math.
Started my first big boy job at a company in Syracuse, NY that made industrial sensors and gas analysis equipment. Lots of C++. Lots of math.
Linux Foundation Certified Engineer for building embedded Linux systems using the Yocto Project
Deemed a Certified Engineer in Linux Kernel Internals by the Linux Foundation.
After continuously demonstrating the rare skillset of being able to grok code AND look you in the eyes while I speak, I was promoted to Lead Software Engineer. I ended up at the helm of a ~$12m project with 4 direct reports consisting of junior and mid-level engineers.
Having shipped my fill of products at INFICON and making many great friends, it was time to set out for greener pastures. One particular friend from INFICON took a week of PTO and hopped in a box truck with me from Syracuse, NY to Longmont, CO to help me out. I flew him home. What a guy.
Started a new gig at a place making networked audio/video equipment. Got to fly up and down the stack from Linux kernel work in the PCIe subsystem to Swift for iPhone apps. This position was short lived -- many folks here were audiophiles, and that's just not me.
My first triple digit speed low-side at High Plains Raceway on my GSXR-600. Poor bike. No injuries!
Moved to CableLabs as a Senior Software Engineer where I do unstructured research and development in the realm of networking to the benefit of the cable industry.
Many patents provisionally filed in the realm of WiFi and network security.
Co-author of "Virtualization in Wi-Fi to Fix Many Long-Standing Customer Experience Issues" published by the National Cable & Telecommunications Association
Mobile WiFi is a novel technology from my team at CableLabs. It involves virtualizing a WiFi network and having it move between physical WiFi access points so a client's connection never falters while they physically roam around. After many months of implementing this technology and flying all over the world showing it off, it was adopted by cable giant Liberty Global. Success.
NetLLM is an LLM-centric home-networking assistant that performs proactive and reactive network maintenance for non-technical users. Eliminates the need for truck rolls and customer care calls.
Demonstrated NetLLM to the board of directors of CableLabs, consisting of CEOs and CTOs of the world's largest cable and telecom companies.
