This is still a work in progress. This is terrifyingly out of date. Please contact me if you want an updated resume -- I have a spiffy L^AT_EX version! I have done plenty of other exciting and interesting things since the last time this web page was updated (nearly three years ago).

Past and present project roles

• Project leader and lead architect for Linux As Bootloader
• Linux As Bootloader ("LAB") is the next-generation bootloader for the Linux kernel on embedded devices such as hp's iPAQ product series, leveraging the kernel itself to bring up the board. Designed architecture behind LAB, and implemented LAB to the point of booting an iPAQ h1910 and loading a kernel. Modified kernel Makefiles, linkscripts, and initialization code to support a first-stage loader at the beginning of the binary.
• Project leader and lead developer for Linux port to iPAQ h1910
• Wrote BSP supporting LCD, LEDs, USB, battery charging, power management. Coordinated development and integrated submissions from other developers. Provided support.
• Developer on Linux port to iPAQ h2210
• Wrote code to load system from NAND flash. Debugged NAND flash I/O code. Added support to LAB to bootstrap system.
• Lead programmer for Linux port of X-Plane
• Ported Macintosh-specific and Windows-specific code to Linux, including window management using the X Window System, OpenGL interfacing, and sound interfacing using OpenAL. Designed build system. Set up source control in CVS. Tested on various platforms. Provided technical support to users.
