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. \section{skills} \begin{description} \item [languages:]Assembly (PIC, MIPS, ARM, x86, 8051, Z80, 6502), C, C++, Java, Python, Perl, shell \item[Tools:] IAR workbench, MPLab, Simulink, Matlab, MathCAD, Git, Mercurial, SVN \item[Skills:] PCB layout, digital circuit design, analog circuit design, power electronics \end{description} \section{Education} \begin{CV} \item[May 1992:] UC Berkeley, BSEE, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. \item[May 1994:] UC Berkeley, MSEE, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Employs ARM microcontroller and OpenWRM router software. \item[Apr '13 to Apr '14:] ERCIM Fellow, Post-Doctorate researcher at CWI, Amsterdam. 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. \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. \item[Jun '11 to Jun '12:] Post-doctorate researcher at Technical University Berlin. 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. \item[Apr '08 to Apr '11:] INRIA, Paris and Ecole Normale Supereur: Performed research on Portable High Performance Parallelism. 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. \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. \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. \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. \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. Company folded in 2000. \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[ \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. \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.\ 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.\ \end{CV} \section{Personal References} \noindent These persons are familiar with my professional qualifications and my character: Will be provided post-interview. %\begin{table}[ht] %\begin{tabular}{@{}lll@{}} %\textbf{Prof. Albert Cohen} \\ %Professor and Researcher & Phone: & +33-1-44-32-21-67\\ %INRIA & Email & albert.cohen@inria.fr\\ %Ecole Normale Superieure \\ %\end{tabular} %\vspace{.15in} %\begin{tabular}{@{}lll@{}} %\textbf{Dr Yadu Zambre} \\ %Director & Phone: & +1-408-472-8854\\ % Lockheed Martin & Email & yzambre@ieee.org\\ %\\ %\end{tabular} %\vspace{.15in} %\begin{tabular}{@{}lll@{}} %\textbf{Dan Zivkovic} \\ %Developer & Phone: & +1-650-796-8623\\ %Google & Email & zivkovic@google.com \\ %\end{tabular} %\vspace{.15in} %\begin{tabular}{@{}lll@{}} %\textbf{Farhad Arbab} \\ %Senior Researcher & Phone: & +31-20-592-4056\\ %CWI & Email & Farhad.Arbab@cwi.nl \\ %\end{tabular} %\end{table} %\section \end{document}
