Who am I

I'm Guoliang Chen (陈国梁). Most people call me Lucio.

What I do

I'm a hardware engineer. I design digital logic at the register-transfer level (RTL): I write SystemVerilog, work out the microarchitecture, close timing, and make sure the design behaves the same in simulation, on an FPGA and in silicon.

Outside work I build small tools for myself, mostly to scratch an itch:

• a home server, set up and kept in order with Ansible playbooks
• Glimmer, a URL shortener with a small pastebin, written in Go
• Solis, a web app for keeping track of what I own at home
• PocketControl, a Windows app that drives a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 as a webcam: live preview, gimbal control, joystick

I also do CrossFit. Still at a early stage. actual workouts are pushed here for fun.

I have an Nikon D750 and a Z8. Have a few lenses and occasionally take pictures. I also have some other cameras like DJI Pocket 3/4p and a Lytro illum. Maybe I would start posting photos here as well.

Where I studied

• Syracuse University, B.S. in Computer Engineering, 2021.
• UCLA, Master in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2023.

Why this garden

I write things down here so they leave a trace: notes on what I'm learning, things I've fixed, and ideas I'm not done with yet. Start at the Main Page.
