Experience before Allegro
School/University World Like every student, I’ve studied useful things, and I’m lucky for that. The First WOW! 😮 It all started with Arduino, then moved on to other microcontrollers, but always on hard silicon until I encountered the Microblaze on an FPGA, which opened my eyes to computer architecture. The exciting part for me isn’t just how human-readable code can achieve precise, almost magical outcomes from the outside, but understanding how it all works on the inside. I grew up the day I learned how an operating system works, how the concept of time-sharing made it possible to send people to the moon, and how two hardware devices (a CPU and a timer) use interrupts to switch contexts, enabling many tasks to run “at the same time.” ...
