Hobbyist

I was the kid who got the electronics experiment kit for Christmas at the age of nine and never stopped playing with it. Today my love affair with computers and electronics continues, I now design software for leading financial services companies and software houses.

Infatuation with Computer Hardware

The very thought that I could "breath" life into a hunk of hardware fascinated me.

Undergraduate

Bitten by the bug, I pursued my interest in digital signal processing at Sussex University.

My project was entitled "Digital Synthesis of Complex Waveforms".
I designed and built wave shaping synthesizer hardware controlled by a
single board microcomputer I built running custom software I wrote.

I successfully synthesized natural music tones by implementing
Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind  - a set of orthogonal polynomials.

Postgraduate

For an in depth education in digital electronics engineering I enrolled on an accelerated 12 month Masters program at Aston University in England. My thesis was a little ahead of the Go Green Movement: "Centralized Monitoring and Control of Building Services"

I designed and built a 'plug-and-play' network of microcomputer control systems to provide programmable, centralized control of remotely located resources for energy savings.

Energy saving features included peak demand load shedding and duty cycling of non-critical electrical equipment.

As a cost saving measure I designed power-line transmission for communication among the distributed microcomputers using a proprietary communication protocol I developed.
