  \item[] Technology lead for the inter-processor communication stack encompassing all layers from session to link layer used for messaging within the Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC and all supported operating systems (Linux, QNX, L4 \& QuRT - A Qualcomm proprietary RTOS).
  \item[]
  \item[] \textbf{Accomplishments}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Designed and developed an inter-processor communication routing protocol for the embedded system supporting dynamic routing, name service, unicast and multicast messaging. The module currently supports USB, PCIE \& shared memory.
    \begin{itemize}
      \item[--] Improved the throughput of the routing protocol over PCIE by a factor of 200\%.
      \item[--] Reduced code size by a factor of 50\% to enable support of devices with lower capabilities.
      \item[--] Developed a socket interface to facilitate easy adoption.
    \end{itemize}
    \item Implemented a client/server interface (providing the presentation and session layers of the OSI stack) allowing users to exchange structured messages seamlessly within a heterogeneous environment such as the Snapdragon SoC. This was later extended to support one to many (multicast) messaging.
    \item Key developer of a generic link layer protocol capable of adapting to a multitude of physical transports from wired to zero-copy.
    \begin{itemize}
      \item[--] Developed transport plugins for SPI, UART \& SMEM.
      \item[--] Worked with the audio team in improving the worst case IPC latency by a factor of 4 on Linux.
      \item[--] Ported all drivers to the QNX (Auto), freeRTOS \& ThreadX platforms and successfully delivered on an aggressive deadline
    \end{itemize}
    \item Work closely with application and hardware teams from design to final implementation. Key accomplishments being the creation of a unified sensor messaging platform, reduce platform dependence in the radio interface layer.
    \item Developed a multi-processor simulation platform to test IPC device drivers off-target enabling continuous integration testing which allowed for the rapid development and testing of features, bug-fixes and eventually drive product quality.
  \end{itemize}
