About me
I'm Paul Nieves, a graduate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, currently pursuing a master's degree in Electrical Engineering at the same institution.
My academic experience, complemented by hands-on experience in software and embedded hardware engineering, has fueled my passion for FPGA development. I have honed my skills through internships and research projects that span from PCB design and digital signal processing to network infrastructure and photonics.
Currently, I am seeking an FPGA engineering position in Puerto Rico where I can leverage my diverse skill set and experience in both software and hardware to contribute to innovative projects. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I am eager to bring my technical expertise and problem-solving abilities to a dynamic team. Let's connect if you have opportunities where I can make an impact!
