ABOUT DARRYL MCGOWAN

I\'m a Senior FPGA Design Engineer with 12+ years of experience building complex hardware systems. I specialize in Xilinx/AMD platforms—from architecting Zynq SoC designs to implementing high-speed interfaces like PCIe Gen3, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and Serial RapidIO.I\'ve led designs from initial architecture and I/O analysis through timing closure, lab integration, and production deployment. I understand the trade-offs between performance, resources, and schedule, and I make pragmatic engineering decisions that deliver results.I\'ve mentored multiple junior engineers and led FPGA teams on complex programs. I believe in knowledge sharing, clear documentation, and setting teams up for success. I\'m often the go-to person when critical integration issues need resolution.Let\'s connect if you\'re working on interesting problems in FPGA design or custom hardware development!
