Alwyn Elliot (Lead Hardware Engineer), Cristiano Santoni (Lead Product Integration Engineer) & Ed Frosztega (Lead Firmware Engineer) from Garrison
Garrison designs and builds hardware solutions to isolate users from risky web content and provide access between sensitive networks. They design and build their own electronics and use FPGAs to develop "hardsec"-based security controls. The Garrison team will talk about how they provide this security and challenges they've faced including systems design, integrating mobile-grade SoC devices, their complex embedded software stack, and the application of FPGAs to provide extremely robust security at scale.

Adam Taylor- Director of Adiuvo Engineering & Training

He has held various positions in R&D from individual contributor to CTO, and across ASIC, FPGA, DSP and software design disciplines. He is passionate about using technology to make the world a better place. He will be delivering a technical presentation about Realising AI at the Edge with FPGAs.

Please arrive between 6-6:15pm, the presentations will start at 6:30pm and will include an open Q & A session, following which there will be a good opportunity to grab a drink/nibbles and network amongst the group.
