Over my career, having worked in a wide variety of fields, from Automotive Safety Test equipment, VoIP, Telco systems, Thermal Imaging Camera, and Satellite / Terrestrial Radio Communications, I have been fortunate enough to have a wide variety of experience allowing me to be in a unique position having seen and worked with everything from gate logic, to FPGA and ASIC design. The most fun I’ve had was working with FPGAs where you do not have the pressure of ‘cutting an ASIC,’ yet you get the fun of designing your OWN chip! Now, being in Avnet’s Products & Emerging Technologies group, I currently work with all of our boards and have a major focus on the UltraZed family.
