Technical Consultant
Information Technology and Services | Ireland, IE
I'm currently working on web application design, trying to make the most of Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3 on the client side, and using PHP/Codeigniter on the server side. Previous projects used ASP and Python. The next one will probably use Node.
I like trying new apps, tools, and technologies, understanding how they work and exploring how they can be used on clients' projects.
I'm also involved in the Dublin CoderDojo as a mentor in Javascript coding classes.
I've have worked as a consultant on device architecture for Mobile TV applications including DVB-H and T-DMB. I have over 18 years experience in digital electronic design covering PCBs, ASICs,and FPGAs. I've worked on individual block designs, system-on-chip integration, project management and system architecture design. I have direct experience with a wide range of technologies in wireless, storage and telecom industries including Bluetooth, GPS, 802.11, SoC Integration, SCSI, Fibre Channel, ATA, IEEE1394. I was previously a representative on ANSI T11 Fibre-Channel committee and Bluetooth SIG Local Positioning working group.
