Most of my embedded work has been associated with various 802.11 (WiFi)
products, and the networking stacks on them.
I was the CTO/VP of Engineering at Wayport (www.wayport.net) back when
we still built our own hardware.
I designed a distributed switch that used HPNA or regular Ethernet for
installation into hotels. While at Wayport
I also started a project for our own AP, based on the Motorola 860T.
I was a founder @ Musenki. We were doing "open source 802.11 APs" on a
Motorola 8241/8245 board that I designed.
Post Musenki, I went to Vivato for a couple years, where I was
nominally an 'executive', but still managed to get my
hands dirty. Various MIPS, PowerPC and Xscale processors there.
Currently I'm putting the finishing touches on a tree for an Xscale
board produced by Senao.
I see you're a ham. Someday I'll figure out how to put an antenna up at
the condo (KD5FGA).
