Professional Experience
Dallas Semiconductor/Maxim Integrated Products
Dallas, Texas
August 2001 - present
Title: Design Engineer
Working with Dallas Semiconductor/Maxim's mixed signal design group, using the in-house CMOS process. Focusing on TCXO design, real-time clocks (RTCs), and SCSI terminators. Primary designer of the DS3231 (including DS3232/DS3234/DS32x35) product line, a range of 32kHz TCXOs with real time clock and integrated crystal.
Dispersion Design
February 1996 - present
Self employed, providing a variety of design, publishing and photographic services through both Internet and traditional mediums, including music notation layout and publishing. Use Adobe software packages and Passport Encore, as well as being fluent in HTML and JavaScript. Incorporate knowledge of Perl and C++ to write CGI programs. Some past projects include web site planning, design and coding, and publishing two music books: 'Top Shelf Recorder' and 'His Reign Shall Never End.'

Dallas Semiconductor
Dallas, Texas
May 2000 - August 2000
Title: Mixed-Signal Design Intern
Worked with Dallas Semiconductor's mixed signal group, simulating and refining a 12-bit ADC and modelling crystal oscillators using Matlab. Researched the use of MOSFETs as varactors for oscillator tuning applications.
Sakeji School
Ikelenge, North Western Province, Zambia
May 1999 - June 1999
Title: Teaching Assistant
Taught Computing and Physical Education part-time to children aged 6 - 12 years at Sakeji School. Designed a small local area computer network for the school's new administration building.
