2 Experience Independent July 2014 Present Looking forward to create new opportunities and freely develop my own ideas and projects. During a couple of months I focused on developing computer vision applications for QA using software from Teledyne DALSA Inc. Currently learning about Swift on ios and OS X to build interesting mobile and desktop applications. Next areas of interest include: computer security, Big Data, model-driven engineering, computer music and education. Validation and Tool Development Engineer Intel Tecnología de México, S.A. de C.V. (subsidiary of Intel Corporation) Jalisco, MEXICO September 2012 June 2014 Worked as a member of a validation team working with a number of software projects in the area of binary translation. My tasks included setting up simulation environments to run tests for the binary translators, executing and debugging several tests, written in C and assembly language for x86, that stressed different features of the runtime modules of the binary translators, conducting meetings to prioritize and accelerate resolution of bugs, and training my co-workers on a number of technologies related to full system simulation and binary instrumentation. Contributed to improve quality of future software products to be released by the company. Intel Tecnología de México, S.A. de C.V. (subsidiary of Intel Corporation) Jalisco, MEXICO November 2005 April 2008 Specialized in the organization of the firmware layers for Itanium-based systems: the Processor Abstraction Layer (PAL) and the System Abstraction Layer (SAL). I supported different validation teams within Intel by finding and fixing issues in the SAL firmware layer for multiprocessor server systems. Developed and co-developed different features for both the SAL layer for Itanium-based multiprocessor systems and the BIOS layer for IA-32-based single processor server systems. Acquired basic knowledge of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) approach to design platform boot firmware. Along with my team, I proposed an infrastructure to automate the validation and testing processes of our organization s firmware products. This proposal was awarded the second place in an internal innovation contest. Trained a number of other employees on different topics and technologies. October 2004 November 2005 Designed and developed a software system that allowed Mexican Navy s ships to identify each other using a transmission channel in the VHF radio frequency band. Specialized in object-oriented design patterns, C++ programming, and security algorithms and protocols. Contributed to one of a series of projects to develop technology to guarantee national security. 2

3 Virtutech AB Stockholm, SWEDEN January 2001 March 2002 Designed and developed software systems to verify and guarantee that the Simics instruction set simulator reproduced faithfully the operation of different microprocessor architectures. Specialized in software development for the UNIX environment, C programming, and assembly language programming for different instruction set architectures. Reported directly to the company s Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (University of Puebla) January 1997 August 1997 Developed numerical software systems for calculation of Zernike polynomials, calculation of eigenvectors and eigenvalues, and wavefront simulation. Contributed to a research and development project in the area of adaptive optics. Education PhD. in Computer Science Thesis: Model-Based Design of Digital Hardware Systems for Digital Communications Developed a prototype of a system that transforms activity models in UML 2 to source code in a hardware description language (VHDL). Acquired knowledge of the organization and structure of the meta-model of UML 2. Acquired knowledge of the specifications from the Object Management Group that describe model-to-model transformations and model-to-text (source code) transformations. Experienced in Eclipse technologies to write algorithms that perform transformations between models, like the ATLAS Transformation Language, and between models and source code, like Acceleo. Master of Science in Computer Science Thesis: Hardware/Software Implementation of the Security Functions for Third Generation Cellular Networks Conceived a novel and high performance hardware/software approach to implement the confidentiality and integrity algorithms intended for UMTS third generation (3G) cellular communication networks. Developed four novel hardware systems implementing the KASUMI block cipher algorithm using iterative and pipelined strategies. The systems were described in the VHDL language and synthesized for an FPGA platform. Became familiar with modern cellular communication network standards and technologies like GSM, GPRS and UMTS. Worked with security algorithms and protocols for cellular communication networks. 3

4 Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (University of Puebla) Thesis: An Instruction-Set Simulator for the SPARC Architecture Using the NeXTSTEP Environment and the Mach Operating System (written in Spanish) Developed an instruction set simulator for the SPARC architecture using both C and Objective-C languages, NeXTSTEP s object-oriented development tools and frameworks, and the Mach microkernel-based operating system. Became familiar with RISC instruction ser architectures, microkernel-based operating systems, and objectoriented software engineering. Associations Professional member of the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM). Member of the board of directors of the Association Amigos de México (Mexikanska Sällskapet) in Stockholm from 2001 to
