Took the concept of the Project ARA modular phone into a manufacturable product and platform. I managed and oversaw the design and test activities of the ODM’s electrical team. I helped arbitrate and resolve any architectural features that affect overall user experience and manufacturability. In addition to 3rd party partners, I also managed a team of electrical engineers supporting the ARA module activities - from architecture, test, and validation, including review of module customer designs.

        Alvin is a very talented and creative system design engineer. During his stay at Barnes and Noble he lead the design of five key reader and tablet products. This effort also required management of a team of designers in Taiwan which supported his team's efforts in the US.
Alvin showed great attention to detail and thoroughness in every aspect of the project development. He worked seamlessly with all cross functional teams and was key in communicating to his manager as well as the core team.
In addition to his professionalism and leadership skills, he showed great passion in shipping products and doing design. Mike Reilly
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Alvin was a direct report to me for 3 1/2 years at W5 Networks. He’s one of the best engineers I’ve worked with during my career.  He’s always on top of all the aspects of his projects, works well in cross-functional engineering environments, and has a very good work ethic.

At W5 Alvin's primary task was the development of our Wireless Access Point.  In that role he had many responsibilities: schematic design, supervision of PCB layout, coordination of board and system builds, to name a few.  The Wireless Access Point project required an understanding of many disciplines from high speed digital design, to RF, to Industrial Design.  Alvin was able to work efficiently with engineers in each of these areas to keep the project moving.  This was due in part to Alvin's willingness to take on new tasks and learn new skills.

Alvin needed minimal supervision to accomplish the goals set out for him, and took direction from me well.  He was able to focus on his projects, while keeping the schedules and needs of the other projects in the company so that he could reach his milestones when they were needed by the other projects.
