This site is run by Mike Mintz and Robert Ekendahl, two professional verification engineers. Mike is the one in the red shirt, Robert the one in blue.

Robert is currently working for a fortune 100 computer company with their own open-source operating system and CPU. Mike until recently worked for a fortune 100 router company but now work as an independent consultant.

We started this site and wrote a book about Object Oriented Verification as we felt that an open discussion on how to best use OOP for verification is needed. Our market is currently transitioning to an Object Oriented structure but little support or guidance is currently provided. We hope this site and our forums can start to change this.

For Mike, it all began in small-town Layfette, Louisianna, but that's a long story...
Mike has been a hardware engineer, software engineer, manager, and director. Mike has worked in large companies and really small startups. Mike lives in Harvard, Massachusetts with his wife, two kids, and a big tractor.

Robert's story started even further away in Stockholm, Sweden a long time ago.
Currently working as a Verifcation Engineer using C++ at a large company, Robert has previously worked for several small and large companies both as an ASIC designer and Verification Engineer.
