Even though I love most areas of hacking, a large number of my projects have been around the latest electronic devices out there.
I have joined the Prism54 developers' team in 2004, authoring drivers and firmware for different, newer chipsets for which no specification was available. I have also been involved in different industrial projects such as the development in 2006 of the 802.11 embedded driver stack for the Wi-Fi smart rabbit called Nabaztag. In 2008, I have co-founded the OpenPattern company, which produces FPGA-based open hardware devices, and I am mostly involved in PCB and FPGA developments. I am also an active member of the /tmp/lab geek collective, and one of the inventors of the "Consumer-B-Gone" ringtone.
I am now spending a lot of time on the development of the Milkymist videosynth platform.
