Skilled electronics and computer engineering expert witness that has over 40 years of experience in circuit design, software engineering, and microelectronics analysis, including more than 20 years providing expert witness services in patent and technology-related disputes. Their work includes consultations, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony involving analysis of digital systems, prior art, and reverse engineering of hardware and software. The expert’s technical work encompasses digital audio and video systems, media compression technologies such as MPEG, AAC, and AC3, and real-time signal processing for high-bandwidth recording, streaming, and media editing systems. Their experience includes processor design and analysis, multiprocessor and parallel architectures, shared memory systems, cache and DMA design, and point-to-point communication across synchronous and asynchronous peripherals. Additional work involves FPGA design, ASIC and system-on-chip analysis, debugging and testing of circuit boards and firmware, and reverse engineering of microelectronics schematics and software across platforms using C++, assembly language, and microcode.

In litigation settings, the expert has analyzed hundreds of patents and related prior art, including semiconductor devices, media processors, and digital communication systems. This work has involved detailed examination of schematics, firmware, and system architectures in matters before U.S. District Courts, the U.S. International Trade Commission, and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Documented casework includes retained roles for both plaintiffs and defendants in patent litigation, with preparation of reports and exhibits as well as testimony in deposition and at trial.

Earlier in their career, the expert contributed to the development of multiprocessor systems, digital media processing technologies, and real-time signal processing systems within academic, research, and engineering environments. The expert has also been involved with leading technical publications focused on computer music, microprocessor technology, and processor architecture, contributing to peer-reviewed research and processor design analysis, and has delivered lectures and workshops on multiprocessor architectures and signal processing systems. The expert holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts in Cybernetics, with interdisciplinary graduate work in electrical engineering supported by a competitive research grant, along with advanced study in digital signal processing.
