About Nelson Downs
As a Southeast Regional FAE at AVNET, I’m privileged to support engineering teams as they navigate the AMD/Xilinx embedded ecosystem. AVNET serves as a dedicated bridge to AMD’s powerful platforms, and my goal is to simplify the design process for our partners. I can help streamline part selection and accelerate the design cycle, I’m dedicated to helping teams move from concept to deployment as efficiently as possible.In my past, I\'ve designed and implemented FPGA applications and embedded hardware systems for state-of-the-art femtosecond 2-photon microscopes, enabling novel imaging techniques that accelerated discoveries in the frontiers of neuroscience research and microscope acquisition.
