Elijah Hyndman Email & Phone Number

I am a computer engineer with an intense love for the COE discipline. My profession is also my hobby. I am passionate and curious about theory and techniques behind our practice and I love providing mentorship for people looking to learn about it. There are particular topics which I showed strength in, piqued my interest the most, and which I shall continue studying in my own time:- Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) synthesizing of concurrent logic to accelerate independent processes or quickly and flexibly obtain chip-level solutions without the high upfront cost of ASIC R&D. Comfortable in DataFlow, Behavioral, Structural, and C++ Synthesized HDLs. - Signal and Frequency analysis (Convolution, Transfer Functions, Frequency Analysis and others) with the very introductions of Linear, Feedback-Control System analysis and theory. - The very introductions of VLSI design for CMOS logic, ratio'ed circuits, analysis of circuit delay, power gating techniques, and Semiconductor-level Mosfet Design - The very introductions of Information Security with methods and analysis of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Accessibility of assets on a system. Under the wide umbrella of mechanisms, I particularly enjoy asymmetric encryption, hashing, and Transport-Level security (high level of appreciation, low level ability to lecture on it) - Embedded microcontroller applications with varying levels of abstraction (from high level arduino-IDE scripting, to bare-metal C interfacing with FPGAs, to ARM assembly interfacing with GPIO.) My particular favorite area of Embedded is bit-level, interrupt-based implementation of protocols such as SPI - Prototyping, design, and fabrication of Printed Circuit Boards (particularly with SMD packages) using Component Data sheets and CAD such as Altium Designer- Creative and Aggressive application of Design Patterns and compositional-design techniques for converting system requirements into manageable, reconfigurable, and easily-understood software solutions- Acceleration of single-core applications by utilizing available hardware. Particular comfort in multiple core acceleration of applications across threads with shared memory. Now taking first steps into GPU process-acceleration I am looking for a position which will challenge and develop my skills amongst as many of these practices as possible and provide stepping-stones for leadership in software and hardware design.
