Summary
Brandon Fry is a Senior ASIC Design Engineer in the Portland area with a decade of hands-on experience architecting high-performance digital systems across FPGA and ASIC domains. He has driven FPGA-to-ASIC transitions at NVIDIA after designing FPGA-based ML accelerators for Azure at Microsoft, and brings deep expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL, timing closure, multi-clock domains, and high-speed interfaces such as JESD204B. His background spans DSP, analog/RF, firmware and software (C/C++)—notably delivering a 30x video refresh improvement for an F-35 helmet display tester and leading a patented DAC synchronization effort in high-speed AWG hardware. A pragmatic team player and problem-solver, he combines system-level architecture with low-level implementation chops and formal training in data science to inform measurement-driven design decisions.
