BSQUARE Corporation, Bellevue, Washington
9/96 – 9/02 Senior Software Engineer

Key team member on ports of the Microsoft UTC compiler back end to RISC platforms for the WindowsCE OS. Platforms included ARM/Thumb, SH3, SH4, SHmedia(SH5), TriCore, PowerPC, and MIPS.

  • Implemented machine dependent optimizations to exploit processor features.
  • Developed new approach to capture data dependency in SSA of values in heterogeneous register sets to improve dead code elimination, copy propagation, and register allocation.
  • Extended global optimizer to recognize more opportunities to address performance on RISC architectures.
  • Improved code generation to exploit SIMD instructions available in WindowsCE RISC architectures.
  • Contributor for global expression and loop optimizations, code generation, register allocation, dataflow analysis, scheduling, constant and copy propagation, and flow optimizations.
  • Developed and implemented testing tools and tests to verify quality of the compiler back end.
  • Mentored and trained new engineers in technology and professional practice.
