Summary
Michael Olivas is a Sr. Systems Design Engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in SoC CPU performance validation, PCIe, and CXL performance for server platforms. He has led CXL regression and debug efforts for Xeon-class systems, integrated automation frameworks to streamline bandwidth and latency measurements, and leverages EMON counters and FPGA test cards to pinpoint traffic-flow bottlenecks. Comfortable across firmware, FPGA programming, and system-level analysis, he has optimized UEFI BIOS knobs and driven cross-team debug forums to resolve complex post-silicon issues. Based in Austin, he blends hands-on lab work—programming Quartus-flashed FPGAs and CPLDs—with mentoring IO teams on bring-up best practices. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions that bridge hardware test infrastructure and reproducible performance measurement.
