Intel Corp (INTC)

[techno_bull]

I joined Intel in 1995 as a software engineer shortly after the FDIV bug and joined a team whose charter was to avoid such a calamity in the future. I went from green to blue and back again a total of 3 times over the past years and retired for good in 2012. I spent most of my software career in the group that develops Intel's integrated graphics driver working on software factory automation (a fancy term for automated build-test-package-delivery of the driver to OEMs). Also spent a little bit of time on the discrete graphics driver initiative that came to be known as Larrabee.

My frequent badge color flipping is a sign of my joy for technology but my aversion to corporate life. I was never well suited for staff meetings, focal, 360s and teambuilders etc. and showed myself the door in 2013.

I know next to nothing about microprocessor design or silicon process technology which is why I spend a lot of time lurking on this forum to help fill in my knowledge gaps on these subjects. My ultimate goal is to gain a deeper understanding of Intel stock fundamentals so that I can beat the people I trade against which is no easy task.

I am indebted to the mainstays on this board (they know who they are) for allowing me to glean just a little bit of the quality research and opinions that they post on a regular basis.
