Über Autor(innen)

A little bit about me. My college degrees include BS & MS in Computer Engineering both from University of California. I have been in the semiconductor industry since 1984 fulfilling several different roles with increasing complexity and responsibility as my skills & experience grew. 

My first job was a process development engineer involved in the 1 to 2 um CMOS technologies. My most recent position has involved board level product management & operations. In the early days of my career I was developing transistors & memory cells (i.e the building blocks of every semiconductor product). Later on I was responsible for model parameter extractions which were the building blocks of SPICE transistor model developments. During the latter half of my career I became interested in product & test engineering. So I used my knowledge of basics to move my career in that direction. More recently I have managed new product introductions for several types of products including ASICs, FPGA & mixed signal products.
