I build open source silicon ecosystems — creator of the SkyWater SKY130 & GF180MCU open PDKs and Google's Open MPW shuttle program (>1,000 tapeouts, >40% by first-time designers). Now founder & CEO of wafer.space.

- wafer.space — Founder & CEO, 2025 - Present. Community silicon pooling service — GF180MCU multi-project wafer runs that get custom chips manufactured from a few dollars per die, rebuilding low-cost fab access after the collapse of Efabless.
- fpgas.online — Co-conspirator (with Carl Karsten), Present. A remote FPGA lab anyone can use from a browser — a rack of real Arty dev boards with live camera views of the LEDs, free for experimenting with real hardware right now.
Earlier projects — TimVideos/HDMI2USB, F4PGA (SymbiFlow), LiteX, Tomu/Fomu and more — are on the projects page.
On GitHub since 2008, with 568 public repositories. Some popular ones under my own account:
| Repository | ⭐ | About |
|---|---|---|
| kicad-mini-pci-express | 109 | KiCad library and templates for creating designs with Mini-PCI-express cards (both the cards and sockets). |
| autolabeler | 105 | Add labels to Pull Requests based on matched file patterns |
| actions-includes | 73 | Allows including an action inside another action (by preprocessing the Yaml file). This is how composite actions should have worked. |
| kicad-pmod | 43 | KiCad Library to make it easy to create both host boards and expansion boards and which are compatible with the Digilent "PMOD" specification. |
| python-datetime-tz | 36 | Drop-in replacement for Python datetime which deeply cares about timezones. |
| kicad-length-matching-checks | 27 | Couple of scripts which checks length matching of your KiCad design. |
Most of my open source work lives in shared organisations: thousandparsec, sydney-linux-user-group, timvideos, sydney-linux-user-group-dependencies, events-everywhere, freecores, im-tomu, fupy, SymbiFlow, litex-hub, hdl.
