Consultant Profile...


John Gulbrandsen
Hi, I'm the founder and president of Summit Soft Consulting. I have a formal background in Microprocessor, Digital and Analog Electronics Design and more than 20 years of in-depth experience with high-speed electronics design, device drivers and Application Development for both embedded and Windows systems.

The most recent 10 years, I have worked extensively with Windows and embedded device driver design and implementation for Western Digital as well as advanced USB and PCI Express Protocol Analyzer R&D for ITIC.

At Western Digital,  I spent over 9 years as consultant responsible for Microsoft Windows PCI and PCI Express Device Driver development for multi-gigabit SATA and SAS Host Bus Adapters. In addition, I was responsible for FPGA-based digital design of various PCI Express peripheral devices as well as the related device drivers for both Windows and embedded systems.

At International Test Instruments Corporation (ITIC),  I have worked over 8 years on advanced FPGA-based Protocol Analyzer designs for USB and PCI Express high-speed gigabit serial buses. In addition, I was responsible for designing and implementing the complete C#/.NET - based PC software as well as embedded firmware for the ITIC 2500A PCI Express Protocol Analyzer. Technologies involved were high-speed board design, Signal and Power-integrity analysis, Switched Power Supply design, FPGA Digital Design, microprocessor-based design, firmware development and Windows device driver and C#/Windows Forms application development.

Over the years, I have worked extensively with Windows operating system internals, device drivers and application development for most Windows platforms, going back to early 1990's and Windows 3.0.

If you need to implement a device driver for your peripheral device or if you need design and implementation help on your peripheral device itself, please send me an email today!  I will work with you to assess the time and cost required for the design and implementation. This initial consultation is of course 100% free!
