Firmware engineer at Intel, been working on computers since before the invention of the IBM PC. Started with the 8085 processor working on real-time operating systems and have specialized in embedded processors since then. I've gotten to work on fun projects like bank ATMs, whiteboard camera systems, video projectors, lumber measurement and optimization systems, solar power microinverters, head-up guidance systems test systems, network management chips and hardware-based software performance analyzers. Currently supporting the Baseboard Management Controller firmware on Intel-based Cloud Servers for both Intel and its customers.
I've rebuilt engines and automatic transmissions, repaired VCRs, fixed tube and flat-screen TVs, rebuilt iPhones, and generally keep all the appliances, automobiles and electronics in my entire family running. Having been a homeowner for over 30 years, I've done virtually every type of work imaginable on my house, including roofing, plumbing, electrical, tile work, flooring, sheetrock, doors and windows, framing, siding, etc.
Good judgement comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgement.
I like to think I can fix almost anything - except stupid. You can't fix stupid.
Me: I'll take "Internet of Things" for $200, Alex.
Alex Trebek: The answer is, "My coffee mug needs a firmware update".
Me: What is, "Words I never imagined coming out of my mouth"?
