I have over 10 years firmware programing experience and UEFI experience to modify BIOS module and debug BIOS. And I have well-known BIOS background to improve bios system efficiency and debug system issue. I also have 3 years experience to do SSD firmware base ARM structure. It let me have some PCIe an NVMe knowledge and understood the host command to NVMe storage behavior. I usually use the C language, Git version control, and JIRA system to track issues.

Mainly job is to handle the host and SSD connection issue, based on PCIe spec and NVME spec. and figure out these issues triage and fix the SSD firmware issue to meet the new PC chipset, new PCIe or NVME behavior. ASIC firmware depends on ARM base structure using IAR Embedded Workbench, and debug use Protocol Analyzer ex : Lecroy T34 . we also use the JIRA system and Git tool track bug and code version-control. Major Accomplishments 1. Trip to Dell China Design Center with intel engineer to figure out BSOD issue root cause when our controller IC installed in Dell Server. 2. Modify the new IC function SMBUS for appendix A, NVME MI 1.1 spec, for Lenovo or others requirement. Fix our IC firmware behavior to pass the WHLK, IOL, ULINK, and OakGate certification.

Mainly job is to develop new CRB board for Compal internal used, and develop the Compal BIOS feature for their own. After transferring to Dell team, mainly job is fix and debug the AMI BIOS included Dell feature for Dell product which is x86 structure base BIOS Major Accomplishment 1. I ever build a UEFI driver and module for work and project requirements. 2. I really good at handle the emergency case that customer report issue, for example customer need a show warning message and check system registry info, therefore I co-work team member and finish it in a short time. a. 2017 best department employee (Compal SW11). I optimized the computer booting time in 3 different projects and find out the main cause to improve 1-1.5 seconds.
