About bitwiz#
I’m Alexis, an FPGA engineer with 5+ years building high-performance digital systems.
Background#
My work spans medical devices, big tech infrastructure, and custom silicon projects. I specialize in:
- Streaming systems - High-throughput data pipelines and DMA engines
- SerDes integration - Multi-gigabit serial links (PCIe, Ethernet, custom)
- Verification automation - Cocotb frameworks, SVA, constrained random
- Timing closure - Clock domain crossings, multicycle paths, physical optimization
Current Focus#
- DDR4/DDR5 memory subsystems
- 100G+ Ethernet implementations
- Hardware/software co-verification
- Open-source FPGA tooling
Philosophy#
Write RTL like someone else will have to debug it at 2am. Because that someone might be you.
I believe in:
- Readable code over clever code
- Assertions everywhere - if it can go wrong, check it
- Automation - if you do it twice, script it
- Documentation - but not too much
This Site#
bitwiz is where I share projects, techniques, and tools from my work. Everything here is meant to be practical and applicable to real designs.
