Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeegan Crankshaw is a Senior Software Development Engineer with 11 years of experience bridging embedded systems, FPGA/RTL design, and software tooling, currently driving emulation and prototyping features at AMD in Dublin. He combines deep academic training—a distinction MSc(Eng) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and a BSc(Eng) from the University of Cape Town—with hands-on delivery of internal DSL linters, automated documentation toolchains, and regression monitoring systems. Comfortable across hardware-adjacent RTL work and higher-level automation, he has simplified complex toolchains and introduced novel testing approaches for Vivado to improve release stability. A seasoned mentor and trainer, he regularly onboards new hires and shapes internal processes, while his earlier roles span FPGA development, teaching, and founding a programming collective. His profile blends research rigor and product-focused engineering, with an uncommon emphasis on developer experience in low-level tooling.
