Summary
Chris Brown is an FPGA digital designer with 12 years of hands-on hardware and embedded systems experience, currently building satellite communications hardware at Kepler Communications. His background spans consumer electronics and high-volume board design through roles at Google, North, and multiple startups where he designed image sensor controllers, configurable display controllers, and cost-optimized analog/digital illumination systems. Comfortable across the stack from Altium PCB layout and multilayer board bring-up to RTL and FPGA firmware, he combines practical production-focused engineering with rapid prototyping under tight schedules. Based in Cambridge, Ontario, he pairs formal training in electronic systems engineering and computer science with a knack for “wrangling electrons” into reliable, fielded products.
