I've founded MindVista Technology (www.mindvista.us) based in Silicon Valley - a startup specializing in embedded computing platform and software solution for EV, interactive music app for mobile device as well as embedded content solutions for toy market. I have over 20 years of design in system, software experiences from various Silicon Valley notable companies from Cisco, Lucent, Diamond Multimedia, AMCC to MediaVision. For more recent info, please visit http://www.mindvista.us. I excel at novel ideas using algorithms and C programming as basic tools for prototyping whether on a DSP or a uP, then realizing them in creative ways for real world solutions. I enjoy to work with tough problems while taking engineering into levels of novel solution with artistic outcome, Even under tight constraints from time, cost, size, power, speed, and tough trade-offs needs be made. I'm comfortable to developing new system from concept. Specialties: All aspects of design, development in Multimedia, Highspeed for real-time or cut-through, Realtime Embedded Application for Control and Audio Apps processing, Computer Telephony, PBX System, Embedded Real-time OS.
