Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRey Tucker is an electrical engineer with 17 years of experience specializing in VHDL FPGA design, firmware development, system integration, and hardware wring-out for digital and RF systems. Based in Somerville, MA, she combines deep FPGA timing-closure and resource-optimization skills with practical expertise in build automation, CI, unit testing, and toolchain development. Rey has driven modem and waveform PHY work for MANET and 3GPP-derived systems at Harris and now applies that low-level embedded rigor to software-defined radio projects at Nuand, contributing upstream bladeRF support and multi-distro Docker-based test infrastructure. She also brings a long-standing interest in Internet technologies—IPv6, virtualization, and scalable Linux ops—from running a consulting practice and ISP work. Known for intentionally “breaking things” to find weaknesses, she pairs a tester’s curiosity with a systems engineer’s discipline to deliver robust, verifiable designs.
