About Benjamin Widrevitz

If something really interesting came along.I'd be game to try it. Yah, some money-with inflation, now I wouldn't mind. But I'm not begging! I still have my marbles, and constantly learning difficult things.with success. Or. you all can go on whining that you cannot find good workers. For you guys/bots/HRs.I wonder if you are looking in the right way. I've yet to be offered a thing.yet I know from experience how what a great bootstrapper I am. Well.that felt good, after seeming N 'these people are looking at your linked-in entries.' 11/1/2018:"Retired". 5/30/2016 update: Working part time with a house (yep.with a mortgage) in Hawaii. Mostly working 'soup to nuts' with real time packet capture/analysis.perl/linux/VB/whatnot. Great ride still at Arris. Best project: end to end Crypto assignment. Greatest achievement.45 year old marriage.still running/both kids married happily and OK/ and 2 fine grandchildren from each of them.(nah.I don't use linked in like most everyone else). 10/1012 update: Biggest and most important: Three grandsons and counting![now.a granddaughter too!] That is wonderful. Happy I do actual 'work' and not 'managing.' Update about 4.5 years after I wound up 'reinventing myself'.(excerpt from 2007 given below): The glow is gone from those days, but life at Arris is still very good for me. I have figured out what I'm good at and what I'm not, and been able to 'find my grove.' I've finally become proficient in several tech things/can produce moderately usable, practical results reasonably quickly-Perl Programing; Packet Analysis and Synthesis; Linux, eclipse.I From 2007: I have been regurgitated (uh.not in a spiritual way). After being blown off the sinking ship of Lucent (Director in UMTS Cellular Development), went to Jun. Col. and wound up teaching Physics, and learning a ton of other things.ranging from Anat/Phys to Biochem. Wonderful. But needed a 'real job.' Specialties: Embedded processors. Hands on configuration, Linux, Tools, TCP/IP set. Packet processing (Cavium/RMI) programming and system design. Extensive lab work integrating ATCA, lots and lots of packet and network studies. hubs/nodes; ethernet 1G,10G; L2-L3 switch administration. Broadcom/Fulcrum/Cisco ethernet switch CLI/Admin.
