User: rickyrazz

I was born and raised in Silicon Valley. Earned my EECS and MBA degrees from UC Berkeley and have been an executive at several notable companies, primarily in the digital video arena. My motivation to contribute to wikipedia comes from the desire to chronicle the technologies and companies that have driven or are driving the digital video revolution. I've written articles for EETimes, EDN, Electronic Design, Forbes.com, Electronics Weekly amongst others. My writing style is direct and explanatory. I'm looking forward to making Wikipedia a great resource for Silicon Valley history and technology researchers.
