👋 Hi, I’m @GallianoDean. I currently have 2 years experience as an Engineering Technician II in the Systems Level Testing (SLT) laboratory at Qualcomm, where we perform

NPI (new Product Introduction) post-ATE testing on Qualcomm's flagship SoC devices: Including the Snapdragon(MSM) as well as RF modules. We "test the devices at the system

level" by emulating the end user envrionments (boot to Android, Windows) on evaluation and debugging boards: flashing builds, analyzing crashdumps, performing SLT Regression

tests, and most of all validating and packaging the Test Programs and DFT Test Patterns that will be used for production.

👀 I’m interested in all things to do with Electrical Engineering, especially ASICs architecture, design, and verification processes and methodologies, as well as FPGA Design

and applications, generally anything to do with Digital Electronics, Computer Architetcure, and Embedded Systems.

I'm pursuing an MS-EE @ CU Boulder and am working towards transitioning to the position of Engineer in SLT at Qualcomm. I earned a BS in Applied Physics & Applied Mathematics from

Humboldt State University, and thanks to the skills and knowledge I continue to gain and apply in my role at Qualcomm, I have developed a strong passion in Electrical Engineering.

Indeed, I have finally gained the industry experiences to help me decide to focus on the career path that I most desire.

I continue to learn and strengthen my unerstanding of the Electrical Engineering subject areas that I had not previously studied as in-depth in my college curriculum, and am always

looking for great educational resources.

My current educational focus is on FPGA Design for Embedded Systems: given the similiar design and prototyping flow of FPGAs to ASICs, my interest really peaked in FPGAs! In fact,

the first pathway of courses that I am taking in the MS-EE program is on FPGA Design: Introduction to FPGAs, with heavy use of Quartus Primem including Qsys to implement the

Nios-II Soft Processor via the Avalaon-MM Interconnect; and of course Verilog/VHDL. As the courses use Quartus Prime, I am looking forward to getting used to Xilinx Vivado.
