Work History

Staff Embedded Systems Architect

Analog Devices
Burnaby, BC
04.2024 - 07.2025
  • Led ASIC validation from power-on to full application test in four weeks.
  • Managed a 9-member global firmware team (Canada, India, and the Philippines).
  • I mentored junior engineers on bare-metal systems, I2C drivers, and callback patterns.
  • Architected cross-medium configuration protocol, and Windows tooling.
  • Reduced iRAM usage by 10 KB through code overlays and optimization.
  • Built Jenkins-based CI for build/test automation with Polyspace analysis and UART-based performance capture via hardware jig.

Staff Engineer, Firmware Engineering

Analog Devices
Burnaby, BC
04.2022 - 04.2024
  • Transitioned FPGA-based product to ASIC by eliminating hardware-specific dependencies, and adjusting memory strategies.
  • Co-designed a DisplayPort-over-Ethernet extension protocol under memory-constrained FPGA systems.
  • Maintained PostgreSQL backend for GUI-based production tracking and MAC address management.
  • Migrated USB2 extension from a two-box system to a single-box Windows driver, with a full compatibility demo.

Member of Technical Staff (MTS), Software

Maxim Integrated
Burnaby, BC
01.2018 - 01.2022
  • - Developed patented DisplayPort-over-Ethernet protocol, foundational to new product line.
  • - Built stream recovery algorithms using line buffers only.
  • - Developed firmware/drivers for ASIC emulation for pre-silicon validation.
  • - Managed MAC and inventory databases via PostgreSQL for production tracking.

Firmware Engineer

Icron Technologies
Burnaby, BC
08.2016 - 04.2018
  • Supported sustaining engineering for USB extender products by reproducing field defects and assisting senior designers with root cause analysis.
  • Used JTAG, UART, and USB protocol analyzers to trace firmware execution and analyze low-level USB transactions.
  • Inserted debug logs and instrumentation into C-based firmware to isolate defect origins and validate firmware behavior.
  • Developed Python-based test scripts to automate defect reproduction and verify fixes prior to release.
  • Collaborated closely with senior engineers to review fixes and ensure regression-free validation across releases
