ABOUT MAURICIO GARCÍA

I am an Electronics Engineer with over a decade of experience in the semiconductor and software industries, specializing in the development and validation of high-performance DSP systems.Core Areas of Expertise1. Firmware & API Architecture (High-Speed DSPs)Currently focused on 800G PAM4 Optical DSPs, I lead the end-to-end design of customer-facing C APIs. My work bridges hardware specifications and software usability, including the implementation of Python wrappers (SWIG/ctypes) to streamline integration. Previously, I contributed to the 200G/400G Coherent DSP ecosystem by developing modular C++ APIs based on RTL documentation.2. Test Automation & Lab EcosystemsI specialize in accelerating the silicon lifecycle through automation and robust infrastructure. This includes- Developing Pytest-based validation suites and integrating them into GitLab CI/CD pipelines- Building Python-based remote servers to synchronize and control lab instrumentation (OSAs, thermal controllers)- Designing and implementing centralized SQL databases specifically for automated test result logging to streamline hardware validation.3. Full-Stack Software Engineering- Beyond the chip level, I have experience building scalable backend infrastructures. I have architected RESTful APIs using FastAPI and PostgreSQL, focusing on refactoring legacy systems and improving maintainability through structured unit testing and Docker-based deployments.Technical ToolkitLanguages: C, C++, Python, JavaScript (React.js).Frameworks & Tools: FastAPI, Pytest, SQLAlchemy, SWIG, ctypes.Infrastructure: GitLab CI/CD, Docker, PostgreSQL, SQL.
