It's been 9 years now since I joined Tensilica. Wow, a lot has happened during that time. We went from Xtensa 4 to Xtensa 9, added HiFi Audio DSPs and the ConnX family of baseband DSPs. Started going to the CES and Mobile World Congress trade shows. I was even able to convince the company to install Salesforce and led that project.
Now, as I see the fruits of all this work, things are really looking good around here. We just celebrated shipping our billionth IP core, and we're on target to get to 2 billion cores by the end of 2012. We're hiring like crazy (check out our careers page). Business is good, and I'm glad I stayed. Looking forward to several more good years ahead.
