I'm a computer engineer based in Ireland, currently working at Microchip. I love to thinker around building my projects, especially those embedded-related.

During my spare time, I also operate an amateur radio station under the callsign PY3PK, EI7JVB and M0PHK 📡

👨🏻‍💻 About Me

• 🔭 I'm currently working in Microchip's FPGA-ESS division, targeting PolarFire SoC support.
• 📝 In the past, I worked as a CPU Post-Silicon Power Engineer @ Qualcomm, characterizing and optimizing the power consumption of the latest-gen mobile Snapdragon SoCs. I also worked as an Associate Software Developer @ Canonical, researching power and performance optimizations for new Intel platforms. I also worked with PCB design and firmware development (STM32/NRF52832) for personal projects and done research on fault tolerance at the Embedded Systems Laboratory @ UFRGS. Finally, I've worked on IoT devices at Beyond Domotics, DeepX and balena, developing both software (MQTT/InfluxDB/Grafana/Python/Typescript/Embedded Linux) and hardware (KiCad/ESP8266/Variscite SOMs) professionally.
• 🌱 I’m currently studying high-performance computing and computer architecture, focusing mostly on heterogeneous architectures and low-energy designs. In my spare time, I also research microarchitectural vulnerabilities and digital design.
