Analog Layout

As a profession

I have started my career in the semi-conductor industry as an analog physical designer. I wrote about it on my personal blog back in 2012 when I thought about leaving both the profession and Ireland. Although Analog layout is no longer direct part of my work, as I moved to digital physical implementation, I am still keeping an interest on the subject.
