60 \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.

85 \begin{CV}

86

87 \item[Jun '14 to present]

88 Freelance project work, including a VLSI voltage mode synchronous Buck converter in TSMC .35u analog process, a PID motor controller for medical diagnostic test equipment, a recommendation system for TV programs based on click streams collected from set top boxes.

89

90 \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.

91 \item[Apr '13 to Apr '14:] ERCIM Fellow, Post-Doctorate researcher at CWI, Amsterdam.

92

93 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.

94

95

96 \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.

97

98

99 \item[Jun '11 to Jun '12:] Post-doctorate researcher at Technical University Berlin.

100

101 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.

102

103 \item[Apr '08 to Apr '11:] INRIA, Paris and Ecole Normale Supereur: Performed research on Portable High Performance Parallelism.

104

105 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.

106 \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.

107

108 \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.

109

110 \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.

111

112 \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.

113 Company folded in 2000.

114

115 \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[

116

117

118 \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.

119

120

121 \item[Jan '95 to Jan '96:] Digital Equipment Corporation: Evaluated advanced high speed digial logic technologies for use in Alpha processors. Evaluated adiabatic logic, Time-Stationary Computation, and other low power, high speed approaches. Invented five new VLSI logic families and a novel division technique based on deduction. Designed high speed pseudo-self-timed array multiplier for low cost Alpha core and StrongArm VLIW co-processor using a combination of static, domino, and differential cascode (DCVSL) logic.

122

123 \item[Jun '93 to Jan '95:] 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 a Xilinx FPGA based oscilloscope that displayed output on TV screen, and cost \$40 in parts and materials.\

124

125 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.\
