Summary
Andrei Antonov is an FPGA engineer and system architect with 15 years of experience designing fault-tolerant hardware, high-speed serial interfaces, and precision time-synchronization systems for industrial, research and space applications. He has deep hands-on RTL expertise across Intel (Altera), Gowin, Lattice and some Xilinx platforms, and has led teams to deliver FPGA-based data acquisition, White Rabbit/PTP-compatible timing nodes and industrial communication endpoints. His background spans academia and industry—teaching HDL and EDA while acting as tech lead on R&D projects for high-energy physics and telecommunications—giving him a rare mix of research rigor and production delivery. A pragmatic hardware tinkerer, he also builds home automation and timing systems for motorsport, and prefers repairing hardware over buying new, reflecting a practical, sustainability-minded approach.
