About Brian Lilienthal

Embedded systems engineer who focuses on quality - If it doesn\'t work every time, then it doesn\'t work. Design it correctly the first time, design with maintenance, security, and maintainability in mind, and get input from others on your designs. I bring experience in C/C++ firmware development, digital hardware design, PCB layout, debug/validation, Agile and testing methodologies, and team leadership.An avid drummer and decent tennis and ping pong player. Currently _not_ open to new opportunities. Any emails regarding contract positions or positions not located in Austin, TX will be ignored. To see some quality code, check out the SEV/SNP EPYC firmware code I owned and co-wrote while at AMD.
