Summary
Manuel Muro is an electrical design and verification engineer and educator with 11+ years of experience building FPGA/ASIC systems, processor microarchitectures, and novel ANN hardware accelerators. He blends deep hands-on skills in Verilog/SystemVerilog, Chisel/Scala, mixed-signal and SoC validation with system-level IP integration and RISC-V contributions (including a donated, modern opcode map and Sail ISA work). Manuel has a track record of taking concepts to silicon and cloud FPGA proof-of-concepts, designing high-performance compute engines and pioneering techniques to accelerate training/inference for xNNs. An outspoken Agile and SCRUM advocate, he also creates STEM outreach curricula and practical tools—like automated RTL generators and analysis scripts—that reveal non-obvious gaps in complex designs. Based in Florida, he pairs decades of low-level silicon experience with recent full-stack learning (C#, ESP32 IoT, MonoGame) to bridge hardware, firmware, and software for AR/VR and advanced video processing.
