Industry newcomer learning the ropes of the EDA universe. Academic background includes a generous mix of EE+CS doses.

Strong advocate of the co-design philosophy - true synergy in the cause/effects of both hardware and software domains is the one true path to architectural excellence.

Primary quest: sharpening my toolkit of the more niche tricks in the C++ trade.

Secondary quests: Algorithms focused on EDA problems; various schools of thought in software design; testing the waters of the open-source world.

On the side: Prog rock, coffee(!), RPGs, guitar, hiking, Netflix, workout, Reddit. Plus, generous servings of generic philosophical expansion.
