    1.63 +\section{Overview/Summary} Sean is an inventor who has worked on many creative projects. The most recent is a custom wifi router that accurately locates client devices to within 50cm. Other projects have included the first low-cost oscilloscope to use a TV as display (in the early 90's), a phase correcting digital crossover that eliminates time shifts between audio frequency bands, and a robot that performed in modern dances. Sean has also had a career in enterprise software and in research, holding a PhD in parallel computation.

    1.89 +
    1.90 +\item[Jun '14 to Aug '14] Created a motor control system for a Dissolution Tester, and an embedded advertisement device for busses in Haiti.
    1.91 + 
    1.92 +\item[Apr '14 to Jun '14] Designed  system of wifi routers that locate a mobile device to within 50cm. Employs ARM microcontroller and OpenWRM router software. 
    1.93 +\item[Apr '13 to Apr '14:]  ERCIM Fellow, Post-Doctorate researcher at CWI, Amsterdam.
    1.94 +
    1.95 +Advanced the proto-runtime system for parallel runtime systems. Applied it to the Reo language and the ABS language, and created a generalization for distributed memory models. Produced a formal theory of synchronization constructs and proofs of the generality of the proto-runtime approach.
    1.96 +
    1.97 +
    1.98 +\item[Jul '12 to Apr '13:]  Applied the classification style embedded neural network chip produced by Cognimem Inc to  major Machine Learning algorithms.  Involved PCB design, chip design, and coding in C. 
    1.99 +
   1.100 +
   1.101 +\item[Jun '11 to Jun '12:]  Post-doctorate researcher at Technical University Berlin.
   1.102 +
   1.103 + Oversaw 6 students who worked  on the  design of a low-power GPU that is free from programming and application restrictions, verifying a fundamental model of parallel computation, improvement of the proto-runtime approach, and implementation of the HWSim language using proto-runtime. 
   1.104 +
   1.105 +\item[Apr '08 to Apr '11:]  INRIA, Paris and Ecole Normale Supereur: Performed research on Portable High Performance Parallelism.  
   1.106 +
   1.107 +Demonstrated DKU and BLIS framework in Java and in C, running on multi-core shared memory machines, a heterogeneous collection of them and on the Cell processor.  Designed WorkTable and HWSim parallel programming langugaes. Created the  proto-runtime toolkit, a hardware abstraction to simplify creation and implementation of  parallel languages. 
   1.108 +\item[Sept '03 to Apr '08:] UC Santa Cruz: Performed research on a theory of parallel computation, and developed a programming system for performance-portable software called CodeTime, in addition to an analytic performance model for out-of-order pipelines.
   1.109 +
   1.110 +\item[Apr '02 to Sept '03:]   Designed an implemented a DSP based digital crossover that employs a novel technique to frequency and phase correct commodity drivers and to time-align the wavefronts leaving the audio drivers, including sub-woofer. Resulted in superior perceived experience from low cost drivers.  
   1.111 +
   1.112 +\item[Dec '00 to Apr '02:] Nevik Networks: As Chief Software Architect, designed and was responsible for the team implementing a telecom abstraction layer that provides web-based end-customer provisioning of big-iron class 5 switches as well as soft-switches.  Led development, drove requirements gathering and scoping of the product. Company folded in 2002.
   1.113 +
   1.114 +\item[Dec '99 to Dec '00:] SRI International:  A member of SRI's enterprise software consulting spin-off.  Designed a high speed trading system for Deutsche Bank's fixed income securities market.  Co-architected, for American Century, an integrated financial system.  Contributed papers analyzing and detailing electronic exchanges.  Technical lead on implementation of a financial planning services exchange.
   1.115 +Company folded in 2000.

   1.117 +\item[Apr '98 to Dec '99:] Started Halle Sound Research. Designed, built, and sold audio power amplifiers, electronic crossovers, and novel topology switching power supplies (a new class called half-forward flyback), along with speakers for professional audio sound reinforcement.\item[
   1.118 +
   1.119 +
   1.120 +\item[Mar '96 to Dec '97:] ProSide Inc.  Designed and acquired funding for a novel architecture that fuses SIMD with SPMD.  Targeted at 3D graphics, was also a general "loop accelerator" that appeared as smart-memory.  Developed base programming language and tools.
   1.121 +
   1.122 +\item[Jun '94 to Jan '96:] During this period, engaged in multiple projects. Designed, built, and programmed a robotics platform, based on 68HC11 microcontroller, that was employed in modern dances by the "run for your life, it's a dance company" theater troupe. Also, designed, wire-wrapped, and coded Verilog for an FPGA based oscilloscope that displayed output on TV screen, and cost \$40 in parts and materials.\ 
   1.123 +
   1.124 +Designed and built an oscilloscope that used lasers and servo mounted mirrors to project signal traces on 20 ft size screens or walls. Implemented a stack-based processor using TTL parts and wirewrap.\
