introduction

I have extensive digital design and development experience, especially in computer CPUs and systems. My analog experience is less extensive, though I do have special experience in ultra-low-signal processing as encountered in ultra-low-light-level detection with cooled photomultiplier, photo-diode, and CCD image detectors in astronomy.
