New Job: Sr. Director at Goodix Technology

thoughts, USA

Some of you may have wondered why I’ve left the field of microprocessor design after 20+ years when I joined Goodix Technology.

In two words: TECHNOLOGY & GROWTH.

Over the last 20 years I’ve enjoyed CPU development for mobile phones. Here at Goodix Technology I was offered the opportunity to build a new world class digital design team from the ground up and to help create new technologies for Goodix. I had felt for quite some time now that CPU design had run out of steam in the mobile space because of power limitations and diminishing returns of process scaling. I am excited to become part of a young, fast growing and truly global company with offices in 17 locations around the globe. Setting up shop around the world where the best minds are was intriguing. I believe that too few companies are utilizing this global potential for technology innovation. The fact that Goodix Technology is already highly profitable made the choice easy. Our commitment to significant R&D investments into new tech sealed the deal.

Flying is …

flying, thoughts

“… as simple as riding a bike. – Only you’re riding that bike on a springboard over the Grand Canyon while juggling six balls with a random seventh, eighth or ninth thrown in, doing your federal tax returns, taking dictation from an auctioneer, speaking a foreign language, interpreting several hieroglyphic maps, operating at least four computers, drinking a bottle of water, doing algebra in your head, and simultaneously conducting urgent experiments in navigation, critical thinking, meteorology, biology, psychology, chemical propulsion, thermodynamics, metallurgy and – of course–aerodynamics as you prepare to react to a dozen different emergency situations that could have life-threatening implications if you don’t do the right thing nearly immediately.”
