Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSean Garcen is a diagnostic engineer and FPGA designer with over two decades of hands-on experience and roughly five years in his current specialized roles, blending circuit/PCB design, firmware development, lab diagnostics, and kernel driver work. He has driven hardware and FPGA projects across startups and large organizations—including Kiva Systems (an Amazon company), Alcatel‑Lucent, Lucent Technologies, and Raytheon—bringing practical solutions from experimental government programs to warehouse automation. Sean’s strengths lie in bridging board-level hardware with low-level firmware and drivers, enabling rapid debug cycles and robust field diagnostics. He holds an MSEE from Manhattan University and has repeatedly stepped into early-stage product development, contributing full-stack hardware/firmware ownership at startups. Notably, his career shows a pattern of migrating complex prototypes into production-ready systems, reflecting both depth in FPGA diagnostics and an aptitude for pragmatic engineering trade-offs. Based in Massachusetts, he combines classical electrical engineering training with modern embedded systems practices to accelerate product delivery.
