Cupertino, California, United States
I've spend decades working in silicon, have shipped nine A0 chips, and put hundreds of millions of devices into volume production. Today I lead ASIC engineering at Etched, building hardware for frontier inference. Before that I built first-of-their-kind systems at Intel (Bonanza Mine 2, an FHE accelerator) and across 14 years at Broadcom, where as Distinguished Engineer and Director I led the company's first 4G/LTE SoC and its first integrated 3G and 2G radio-baseband-PMU devices to volume. A technologist by training, I love building new businesses — my expertise spans cellular SoCs, RISC-V systems, and cryptocurrency accelerators.
Hardware for frontier inference
Responsible for SoC and system development for Bonanza Mine 2 - second Bitcoin accelerator Responsible for SoC design and execution for Fully Homomorphic Encryption accelerator. Sr. Director, Chipsets and IP Group Responsible for SoC design and engineering: - JellyFish - Vision AI accelerator - Clover Falls - Always on facial recognition device, A0 success. Testchips on Intel 7/4/3 nodes - Bonanza Mine1 - Bitcoin accelerator, A0 success. - Horse Creek - First RISC-V SoC on Intel 4, A0 success. Sr. Director, Design Development Group Responsible for BaseIA - ATOM CPU's with AMBA interfaces. Two A0 cellular SoC's with our partner - Spreadtrum. Engineering, business development and roadmap planning.
Responsible for definition, design and execution of Broadcom's first 4G/LTE SoC, including system partition definition between baseband SoC, RF and PMU for lowest cost, fastest time to market and best system performance. I worked on Cellular SoC front end design engineering. Was responsible for end-to-end product definition to volume ramp.
Responsible for definition, design and execution of Samoa, Broadcom’s first integrated 3G Radio, 3G baseband and PMU device: Lead a company-wide cross functional team across three time zones to achieve first time success. Elected Broadcom Distinguished Engineer.
Responsible for design and implementation of Juno (100m+ units sold), Broadcom’s first 2G baseband with integrated radio. Led Nokia facing technical program management while taking the device to volume production. Juno and Venus were both A0 successes.
Responsible for setting up layout and implementation flows. Led the implementation of 1500 and 1510, VOIP access concentrators. Acquired by Broadcom for $1.2B.
Responsible for setting up layout and implementation flows, full chip layout extraction, verification. Acquired by Pixelworks for $XXXm
