Gary Howard - Intel
I have been working in the ASIC design/verification industry for over 25 years on projects ranging from military to AI to implantable devices. I'm honored and excited to have joined Intel Blockscale ASIC team as System Architect in Jul 2022. I was introduced to Bitcoin in 2018 and started getting involved in off-grid mining projects in 2019 and have been mining personally at various scales every since.
