Steve Spano Email & Phone Number

I have over 25 years of combined hardware and software development focusing on embedded systems, with a history of contributing directly on the implementation of high speed Ethernet systems from 10G to over 100G, complex FPGA and DSP solutions, as well as startup/venture company growth and expansion throughout my career. Professional focal points include supply line management, production ramp-up, finance/contract negotiations, signal processing, high-speed electronics architecture, schematic design, printed circuit board design, design for manufacturability, design for test, high speed signal interconnections, sales/marketing, team leadership, and project management.For most of my career, I successfully operated my own consulting company developing enterprise class ethernet routers, ethernet security taps/analyzers, and video capture systems. Bandwidth on these devices exceeded 10Tb/s. Combined with Xilinx FPGA/DSP accelerators and high performance power supplies, these devices were used for clients in the military, commercial, and industrial sectors. After growing my company to over $1M/year in revenue, it was acquired by Aeronix ATG in Melbourne Florida. My new role is Chief Scientist for Advanced Networking at Aeronix/ATG.Specialties: digital control systems, schematic, fpga, pcb layout, firmware, device drivers, linux development, embedded c, vhdl, verilog, power supply design, project budgeting and planning.Favorites: Video processing, encryption, Xilinx FPGAs VHDL, Linux O/S for embedded targets, SQL-Lite databases

Listed skills include Fpga, Debugging, Embedded Systems, Electronics, and 44 others.
