Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSahand Kashani is a system architect with 12 years of experience bridging academia and industry, currently designing DPU subsystems (PCIe, storage, etc.) at MangoBoost in Seoul. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from EPFL and spent a decade there teaching and researching computer architecture, reconfigurable systems, and hardware accelerators. His background spans hands-on FPGA and SoC work—from partial reconfiguration platforms and SoC-FPGA integration to a Microsoft internship building a control processor for BrainWave—giving him deep systems-level insight. An active contributor to the Yosys open-source synthesis suite, he enhanced its Firrtl backend to improve file metadata and blackbox handling, reflecting a knack for practical tooling that aids hardware design flows. Colleagues rely on him for combining compiler and architecture thinking to deliver scalable, reconfigurable accelerator solutions.
