Eugene Tarassov is a Principal Member of Technical Staff at AMD with over three decades of engineering experience focused on semiconductors, embedded software and on-chip debugging. He has led the Eclipse TCF project and driven debugger internals and GUI work across ARM, RISC-V and MicroBlaze platforms, blending deep low-level expertise with open-source stewardship. Previously a principal engineer at Xilinx and technologist at Intel and Wind River, he pairs FPGA hardware design and Vivado block-level contributions with systems software and Linux debugging support. His GitHub work on Vivado RISC-V SoC designs highlights hands-on FPGA integration—Ethernet controller fixes, board porting and memory/reset logic—showing he still codes at the silicon-software boundary. Based in Danville, CA, he combines a Master’s in Physics/Computer Science from Novosibirsk State University with rare institutional memory of embedded tooling evolution.
