Paolo Mantovani is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with a decade of experience at the intersection of computer architecture, RTL/HLS design, and system-level integration for heterogeneous SoCs. He combines deep hardware expertise—AXI interconnects, on-chip networks, memory hierarchies, power management, and floating-point/proc pipelines—with practical low-level software skills in drivers and APIs for ARM and RISC-V platforms. Paolo has over five years designing, testing, and automating FPGA systems that integrate processor cores with domain-specific accelerators for computer vision and ML, and hands-on experience with high-speed I/O like serial transceivers, Ethernet and DDR. His background spans academia and industry, from a Columbia PhD and research scientist roles to current engineering at Google, illustrating his ability to translate cutting-edge research into production-grade hardware-software solutions. Uncommonly for an engineer, he also holds a conservatory diploma in piano, reflecting a disciplined, creative mindset he brings to complex system design.
