about

Hi! My name is Bruno Fernandes and welcome to my little online notepad, where I make unscheduled posts on how I use software tools in my daily work.

I am currently working in the European XFEL as the Leader of the Fast Electronics Team, part of the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Group. My team is responsible for integration, maintenance, FPGA firmware development and setup of hardware platforms for data acquisition and processing. Our main experience is with MicroTCA platforms.

Besides leading and (hopefully) inspiring my Team to reach for the highest goals, my development work is focus on FPGA platforms. On a daily basis I am messing around with HDLs, HLS or Simulink, C/C++ for embedded code and TCL, Bash and Python for scripting.

I rely on Org mode for organizing, tracking and documenting my work. Whatever I am doing, you can safely bet I am doing it in Emacs.
