Michael graduated from the University of Central Florida where he attained his BSEE in Electrical Engineering. He worked at Harris Corporation for 4 years as an Electrical Engineer and spent much of that time working in the lab and gaining hands on experience by performing design proof tests on CCAs. Currently he is working in Lab Infrastructure at Northrop Grumman Corporation in Palm Bay where he coordinates the procurement, build, and installation of lab hardware to meet design requirements.Michael has worked on ASIC/FPGA verification methodologies, which involved creating test environments in SystemVerilog and using advanced UVM techniques. He has a great deal of passion for UVM, and has created many UVCs from scratch including drivers, layered monitors, sequencers, scoreboards, interfaces, agents, and environments. Michael has also worked on CCA design, cable design, and drafting & executing test procedures. Currently he is working FPGA verification using a VHDL directed testbench, and hopes to transition into software design in the near future. Michael is looking to further his career and gain experience.
