Enthusiastic electrical/computer engineer with sound technology ideas and vision. Recently involved in various projects in embedded systems application (freeRTOS, Arm-CortexM3 MCU, sensor network, android application using Google maps API and bluetooth SPP), embedded wireless (linear invariant synchronization algorithm, vibration sensor, Arm-CorexM3 MCU, RN171-EK (with full TPC stack), web server using php, android application), networking applications (java, javascript, php, mySQL), mobile applications (jquery, jquery mobile, html, javascript, php, and phonegap), and internet of things rapid prototyping (intel galileo, arduino, rasberry pi, restful API, web app using jquery mobile, javascript, php, and mySQL, proximity sensors and servos). Involved in contests such as Intel Rapid Prototyping Contest as a team leader. Able to juggle multiple project at the same time and has the tenacity to never give up and never stop growing and learning.
Ken has 5 years of hands on lab expericence in analog IC bench validation, correlation, experimentation, and test design. Worked in the industrial power then later automotive group at Intersil. Experience include collaborating with designers, applications engineers, test engineers, and product engineers on testing low voltage/high current LDOs, pwm drivers, buck/boost controller, EEPROM testchip, as well as automotive cell balancing chips using Labview, lab equipments, microcontroller modules, and PCB designed using Protel.
