Caleb Gannon — Software Engineer

I am a Computer Engineer specializing in the architecture and verification of high-performance GPU technology at NVIDIA. My expertise lies at the intersection of complex hardware verification, software automation, and technical leadership. I currently oversee debug coordination for large-scale GPU memory subsystems, ensuring architectural integrity across multiple design layers. My professional background is defined by a unique blend of technical depth in ASIC verification and a broad understanding of systems communication, anchored by an ECE & Society degree (plus a Minor in Business) from McMaster University. I have a proven track record of bridging the gap between low-level technical execution and high-level project management - from developing automated triage tools adopted across organizations to leading cross-functional teams through complex project bring-ups. I am driven by technical challenges that require both meticulous systems analysis and innovative infrastructure development. I thrive in high-pressure, agile environments where I can apply a lifelong commitment to integrity and discipline - values I credit to being raised in an RCMP household. Whether optimizing simulation frameworks or streamlining team workflows, my focus remains on delivering high-quality, scalable results.

May 2021 – Sep 2022 · 1 yr 4 mos · Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

Verified multi-protocol high-speed SerDes IP across multiple process nodes, focusing on RX/TX datapath functional verification and UVM scoreboard development for various signaling standards. Beyond traditional verification tasks like BERT and PHY test-mode analysis, I developed a Python/Perl-based automation suite leveraging REST APIs to streamline regression reporting and task assignment. This initiative reduced scrum overhead by 80% and was eventually adopted by the broader verification council to improve cross-team efficiency.
