      \begin{cvitems} % Description(s) of tasks/responsibilities
      \item Owning a digital subsystem that provides MACsec (IEEE 802.3AE), PTP (IEEE 1588/IEEE 802.1AS), and MAC functionalities.
      \item Maintaining \& improving the proprietary Logic Analyser Module (LAM) hardware and software. Debugging silicon issues on various products with help of the proprietary LAM.
      \item Improving \& extending the previously designed front-end methodology. This includes, i.a., replacing underperforming EDA tools, using novel version control management techniques to improve user usability \& efficiency, adding automated regression tests to increase the (early) detection of bugs.
      \item Reviewing digital signal processing (DSP) hardware in a coherent optical DSP chip and developing the firmware for said hardware.

      \begin{cvitems} % Description(s) of tasks/responsibilities
      \item Owning a digital subsystem that provides MACsec (IEEE 802.3AE), PTP (IEEE 1588/IEEE 802.1AS), and MAC functionalities.
      \item Co-architecting and implementing a CSI module. This includes the encapsulation of pseudo-CSI2-packets into Ethernet packets with a configurable Ethernet/IP/UDP/AVTP header at the Rx-side of the block, and decapsulation and reordering of those packets at a Tx-side.
      \item Creating software to extract signals from a proprietary Logic Analyser Module and subsequently translating it to a VCD file that can be interpreted by any waveform viewer.
      \item Developing a script to automatically resolve congestion issues and Lint warnings in auto-generated register files.
      \item Debugging AHB bus issues in full chip simulations.
      \item Setting up a methodology for all front-end activity. This includes, i.a., the directory structure, version control management, regression management, RTL coding guidelines, and design libraries. Furthermore, convenient wrapper scripts that seemingly integrate in the flow for Cadence Joules, Spyglass Lint, Mentor CDC, Agnisys idsbatch, Cadence Conformal, and TSMC memories were written.
