Summary
Quentin Pierce is a versatile software and hardware engineer with over a decade of experience building automation, CAD tools, and embedded firmware for consumer and test products. He blends deep electrical design knowledge—digital and analog boards, I/O and PCI interfaces—with software expertise in C++, C#, Perl, SystemVerilog, linting engines and Linux-based tooling, frequently automating workflows to shift effort from people to computers. Quentin has owned core algorithms for commercial RTL static checkers, written FPGA interface software for modern oscilloscopes, and coached teams on testing and coding standards to reduce bugs proactively. Comfortable as both consultant and product engineer, he pairs hands-on board layout and MSP430 firmware with higher-level API and CAD integrations. A practical teacher who builds tools to teach others, he’s equally at home debugging probe workflows with logic analyzers or architecting translation layers between vendor tools.
