Summary
Michael Bass is a founder and engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building hardware-software systems, currently leading Icii Technologies to reframe code generation with Arctic Fox so developers remain the decision-makers. He combines deep FPGA/ASIC design (including an AI-to-HDL engine and an MCA chip implementation) with full-stack software work across cloud, desktop, mobile, and embedded systems. At Texas A&M he led startup incubation and autonomous vehicle teams, translating academic research into practical products and student-driven ventures. Based in Las Vegas, he balances ambitious R&D with customer-led beta testing and commercial integration, having shipped mission-focused applications for radiation detectors, radio networks, and embedded trackers. Notably, his background spans both low-level Verilog and high-level Python tooling, reflecting rare fluency across silicon to application.
