Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Gentile is a forward-deployed engineer with 10 years of experience building high-throughput hardware and software systems, currently leading a team at Palantir on secure communications and edge RF/ML processing. He combines deep FPGA, DSP, and RF expertise with low-level software skills—having implemented 100GbE/400GbE networking cores, SIMD AVX-512 kernels, and SoC-accelerated DSP pipelines. Comfortable as the "geek that can speak," he regularly scopes architecture with customers and translates board-level constraints into production-ready systems. His background spans product support and pre-sales consulting to hands-on FPGA team leadership at Amazon, Northrop Grumman, and National Instruments. A Johns Hopkins MS and Virginia Tech BS graduate, he blends applied math and machine learning into signal identification and real-time edge solutions. Notably, he moves fluidly between RTL, host drivers, and performance-critical C++/Rust kernels—making him as effective debugging silicon as shipping software.
