EXPERIENCE
Over four years of experience in digital design.
Designed digital encoder for high-speed graphics cable transmission,
starting with behavioral Verilog, synthesizing (using Ambit) with
timing constraints, and verification.
Responsible for the RTC, SBI, and SCI modules (written in Verilog
and VHDL) for a power management chip.  Synthesized logic using
Ambit and Synopsys tools.  Simulated using Verilog-XL, Leapfrog VHDL,
and Analog Artist tools.  Transistor-level experience using Mentor
and Cadence tools.  Also provided software support for team (Skill).
Wrote Perl scripts to generate input files for a standardized
design database used for flip-chip base array packages.
Responsibilities under a DSP project included installation of
initial database, verification methodology, and subsequent model
changes under custom version control system. Converted original CPU
testcases to run on a development version of the DSP.  Supported the
team development of DSP test cases by creating programs to simplify
test case verification.  Broad experience in C++, UNIX, Pascal,
Assembly, Lisp, Skill, and Perl.  Tools experience includes
Cadence Virtuoso, Cadence Composer, Mentor Graphics Tools, Synopsys,
Leapfrog VHDL, Verilog-XL, and Analog Artist.8/93 - 5/94, U. Florida. Teaching Assistant.
5/89 - 12/89, IBM Rochester, AS/400 Operating System Tester.
Developed program to keep tabs on system configuration used
for testing. Worked on automating the testing process.
