Summary
Dennis Pinto is a hardware performance modelling engineer with 11 years of experience blending academic research and industry practice, currently focused on CPU and system-level performance at AMD. He holds a PhD in Computer Architecture (UPC) after an MSc in Robotics and a BSc (Valedictorian) in Computer Engineering, and his work spans low-power speech recognition accelerators, robotic autonomy, and FPGA-based MIPS tooling. Dennis has a track record of translating research into practical artifacts—porting and modernizing teaching materials for MIPSfpga and delivering navigation and semantic mapping software for service robots. Comfortable across Linux, C/C++, VHDL/Verilog and performance modelling, he moves between firmware, RTL, and system-level simulation with equal fluency. His early collaborations with Imagination Technologies and later industry roles show an ability to bridge academia and product teams to ship applied hardware solutions. Based in Ireland, he brings deep architecture insight tempered by hands-on engineering and a knack for converting complex research into usable tools.
