Hello,

I have a strong background in functional verification since 1999 when I taught and performed verification methodology (using Verilog and VHDL) for Qualis Design Corp. While at Qualis I helped clients with their test plans and coding, including BFMs in HDLs as well as the e language and Specman.

In 2001 I formed my own (one man) contracting firm, Star Mountain, Inc. My clients have included IBM, Intel, TI, Xerox, Credence, Teseda, and PMC-Sierra. The work I have done with my clients has included:

• ASIC Functional Verification using Specman, Verilog, VHDL, and whatever else it takes:
• Test-Bench Architecture
• Bus Functional Models (BFMs)
• Re-working legacy code
• Reusable code (eRM)
• Conversion of HW Specs to Test Plans, and Test Plans to e code and coverage items
• FPGA coding and testing
• Analog-Mixed Signal functional verification
• HW lab: debugging and repair

While it doesn't show on my resume, I designed HW instrumentation at Tektronix' research labs a number of years ago, so I'm quite comfortable in the lab too. Really what I do is:

• interface with people well,
• come up to speed quickly, and
• keep my projects on-time, under-budget, and out of the critical-path

Thanks!
Lewis
