Summary

I work in all areas of product development: system, integration, software, electronic hardware, firmware, embedded and deep embedded (FPGA, SoC). I worked on complex problems requiring expertise in all these areas: root cause analysis, reliability. I worked both in the high tech industry and in research and development, DSP – digital signal processing 1-2 D (imaging, video, analog and digital, mixed signal chain), hardware abstraction, algorithms (video, imaging). Experience in industry development: medical, chip, automotive, telecommunications, consumer electronics, computer peripherals. I can transfer relevant knowledge from one field to another.

My image processing experience is in research and development, DSP – digital signal processing 1-2 D (imaging, video, analog and digital, mixed signal chain), hardware abstraction, algorithms (video, imaging), firmware (drivers), electronic hardware, and VLSI.

I hope to apply as much of my knowledge as possible in this position.
