What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build high-performance FPGA, GPU, and heterogeneous computing tools, especially accelerator-generation workflows, EDA toolchains, and performance-optimized developer environments.

I'm currently building FPGA design automation tooling at InstigateDesign, including a complete Place & Route flow from synthesized netlists through device-level placement and routing.

I've implemented netlist flattening, clustering, routing congestion analysis, heat-map visualization, GUI integration, and core routing-engine components to support FPGA debugging and optimization.

At ProximusDA, I developed a parameterized systolic matrix multiplication generator and automated C++ to OpenCL/HLS workflows with Tcl-based HLS pragma insertion. I also extended Proximus with OpenCL acceleration for AMD GPUs, Xilinx Alveo platform detection, emulation support, and IDE features.

My work spans C/C++, OpenCL, CUDA, FPGA, HLS, and GPU benchmarking. I focus on practical developer tools, accelerator generation, and performance optimization across FPGA, GPU, and CPU platforms.
