⚑ Analog EDA specialist Β· 🧠 Neuromorphic Computing Researcher Β· πŸ› οΈ Open-source Silicon Advocate

I build tools for people who design circuits but don't have a quarter-million-dollar Cadence license. I also think about how to make hardware that learns, mostly involving spin dynamics and stochastic networks.


πŸ”§ What I'm working on

πŸ’₯ One-For-All (OFA) πŸ‘Š β€” A parametric layout editor for analog IC design, built as a VSCode extension. OFA eliminates the schematic-layout divide by letting you think about physical design without pushing raw polygons. πŸ—οΈ

πŸ€” What I'm interested in

Neuromorphic computing 🧬 Β· spintronic Ising machines πŸŒ€ Β· physical learning systems πŸ”₯ Β· real-time recurrent learning πŸ” Β· stochastic dynamics 🎲 Β· and the question of whether you can make silicon think without brute-forcing it with matrix multiplies.

Open-source EDA tooling, analog layout automation, and the general problem of making chip design accessible to people who weren't born into the right lab. πŸ”“

πŸŽ“ Background

πŸ“ BSc Mathematics β€” The Open University
πŸ€– MSc Robotics & Embedded AI β€” Maynooth University
πŸ“œ Thesis: Thermal Physical Learning in Sparse Networks

Currently contracting at GDSFactory, building open-source photonic and electronic design tools. 🌊

🎯 On the lookout for PhDs if ya got any

Neuromorphic computing, spintronic devices, physical learning, analog compute β€” if you've got a position and don't mind someone without the traditional pedigree, I'm your guy. Hit me up. πŸ‘‡
