Computing and Other Things

Hi, I am Kevin Townsend and unless I have been slow to update this page, I am currently retired, however, I am looking for new opportunities.

I am a computer engineer, which at it's simpliest sense means my expertise is computation. Some of the projects I have worked on include FPGA computation, Verilog generators and hardware construction languages.

Feel free to email me. I am also present on a few different sites: twitter, github, LinkedIn and ResearchGate.
