Dorota Gaweł

FPGA Engineer @ Resquant

About

I’m an FPGA engineer with a strong focus on development and security, particularly cryptography - areas that align closely with my education and passion. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working both in public and private sector - for large international companies and in R&D departments. That gave me the ability of covering a wide range of environments and versatile perspective on technology and teamwork. Alongside my hardware experience, I bring a solid software and DevOps mindset, helping to bridge gaps between development, testing, and deployment. I thrive in international, interdisciplinary teams where collaboration and knowledge sharing drive innovation. I’m motivated by big challenges and big dreams - always eager to learn, contribute, and help create secure, cutting-edge systems that push boundaries.
