About

Electrical engineer with 20+ years of experience specializing in RTL, embedded system design, and high-performance FPGA platforms. My background spans aerospace, industrial, and high-frequency trading domains, where I’ve led full-lifecycle product development under safety-critical and low-latency constraints. I focus on building robust, real-time systems that integrate FPGA, DSP, and embedded software. My main languages are Verilog/SystemVerilog and C/C++, with increasing use of Python for tooling and automation. I value clean architecture, timing-aware RTL, and hands-on board bring-up. Open to new opportunities where I can contribute to technically demanding design and help bring new products to market.
