Devin Atkin


Summary

I am finishing my PhD in Electrical Engineering and expect to complete it within the year. I am eager to transition into industry and apply my expertise to real-world challenges. My background spans Embedded System Design, Chip Design, FPGA Programming, and Full-Stack Web Development. However, my greatest strength lies in quickly adapting to new technologies and applying them effectively.

I am seeking a role where I can contribute meaningfully while completing my degree, with the goal of leveraging my skills in a dynamic and practical environment.
