I was born in Biella in 1973.

I have studied electronics at secondary school, then at the Politecnico of Torino, and finally, in 2004, I have taken my Master's degree at CEFRIEL. From those days I have worked as a freelance in Italy, expecially in project that using high-speed links (GbE, FC, SONET, SDH, etc...), or data transmission (modem, DVB, etc...). In 2005 I teach my first course as XILINX ATP in Italy.

My idea of work is first to grow in experience and knowledge, and then teach it to the others.

• Born at 11th of August, 1986
• 1996-2000 Elementary School St. Andrä Wördern
• 2000-2006 Higher Technical School, TGM vienna
• Since 2006 Eletrotechnical Engineering and Design at the University of Technology in Vienna
• 2008 started working at so-logic

I was born in a little village near Klosterneuburg in 1986. During our final year at the TGM, a respected higher technical school, in the departement for electronics, three friends and i built a robot with various functions and features. Since then I am fascinated with robotics and I think the near future of robot intelligents lies within neuronal nets, realised in FPGAs. So I came to the best place to learn about FPGAs -> so-logic. After finishing the TGM I started to study Eletrotechnical Engineering and Design at the University of Technology in Vienna.

I gathered my first experience with VHDL in the last years of my polytechnic school. However, the passion to this language I discovered as team leader at my GCE A-level project (Drive Safety - car line assistant).

Currently I study electrical engineering at the technical university in Vienna. My hobbies are sports, dancing and cars.

In future, I want to practice my experience at electrical engineering on cars. It's possible because of the embedded system and there are no barriers for creativity.

I was born in Novi Sad in 1981.

In 2008 I have graduated from the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, at the department of Microprocessor Electronics. My Master thesis was in the area of embedded system design using FPGAs.

My hobbies are sports and reading.

• 1989 I started studying Electrical Engineering / Computer Technology at the Vienna University of Technology
• 1996 together with a friend we established our own company for professional audio and broadcast engineering
• 2003 the company changed it's focus so I left with all the engineering equipment which since
• 2004 is housed at so-Logic

Currently I'm concentrating on circuit design and PCB layout of complex FPGA based systems

Areas of my expertise:

• High-Speed Design / Signal Integrity, EMC
• FPGA, CPLD Design
• Multilayer, rigid-flex, HDI PCBs
• CAD library development
• Microcontroller / embedded systems
• Analog (audio) design
• Firmware (Assembler, C)

My motto:

Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get.

I was born in Mistelbach. I had my first experience with embedded systems with my RTLinux project at the HTL Hollabrunn. Now I'm embedded system designer. I connect the hardware world with the software world. By the way I study electronic engineering at the technical university of Vienna. There I can expand my experience in the areas embedded Linux, embedded design and logic design.

I was born in Brasil and speak following languages: Portuguese, Italian, English, Spanish, German.

During study of Information Technologies and Telecommunication Systems (ITTK) I discovered my passion for development of web applications. I started with simple web applications using PHP in conjunction with MySQL. The free web application framework Ruby on Rails (RoR) was released in 2004. I was fascinated by the concepts of RoR, so I developed a content management system (CMS) within the scope of my diploma thesis for the company so-logic using RoR. This CMS was the basis for further RoR projects. I was also involved in javascript projects for the company irian. There we mainly use the javascript toolkit Dojo.

I'm developing on a Mac using the Editor Textmate. My hobbies are climbing and sailing. My father and me are often sailing on the Neusiedlersee in Burgenland.

The so-logic website is not only a simple homepage but also a web content management system. It gives insights to the companies activities and supports the so-logic management. The following technologies were used:

• Ruby on Rails
• YAML CSS Framework
• jQuery javascript library
• PostgreSQL database

I was born 1984 in Gmünd/Austria. During my education I graduated at the following schools:

• HTBLA Karlstein/Thaya - Commercial School of Microelectronics
• HTBLA Vienna 10 - College of Electronics and IT
• University of Applied Science (FH Campus Vienna) - Information Technology and Telecommunication
• Technical University Vienna - Computer Management (finishing soon ;-))

As a freelancer I was able to gather many valuable experiences in the IT and Embedded Systems field.

Next to work I like to spend time with my girlfriend and of course sport.
