Biography
Among other things, Doug Amos is Director of the FPGA Network within NMI. Doug has carved out a living from programmable logic and FPGA for over 30 years, holding technical positions with Altera, Synplicity and Synopsys. He was also a freelance consultant designer and “PIP-Pilot” back when LUTs were still a pretty neat idea. In all that time, the one constant has been the rapid change within the industry, and despite its maturity, FPGA still takes a lot of keeping up with, and that will keep Doug busy for some years to come.
