Comfortable across the stack, he has deep low-level skills (drivers, JVM/JNI, Verilog, GCC/binutils) and a track record of clean-room implementations and performance optimization for constrained devices. Steve’s recent focus includes Verilog and FPGA work since a career change, plus ongoing open-source tinkering on GitHub while semi-retired. He’s practiced at bridging hardware and software teams across continents, shipping production middleware for set-top and streaming platforms. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he often reimplements or ports complex systems to make them maintainable and portable.
