Experienced Digital System Architect/Design for FPGAs/ASICs
Experienced Digital System Architect/Design for FPGAs/ASICs
I'm an experienced systems architect for designs targeting both ASICs and FPGAs. I've almost 20 years of experience working for industry heavyweights like Xilinx and Analog Devices. I've designed systems for various domains (networking, data center, graphics, etc.) which I've taken all the way from high-level requirements down to implementation and first silicon (depending on the technology used). I'd be happy to help anyone trying to dabble in this area.

Kimon is the best. He is very smart and patient, with an ample amount of knowledge. He explained any problems I had and was always able to help. A great teacher. I would highly recommend him for VHDL coding.

Designed and implemented the MAC sub-system in a 10Mbps industrial Ethernet IC, which incorporates unique, integrated on-chip switch features. I'm responsible for the design of the block and it's subcomponents and their implementation in SystemVerilog, as well as their integration into the rest of the complex ASIC design.
