# Jeff DaSilva > Senior Software Engineer | DevOps & Build Systems | Embedded Systems | Cerebras | ex-Altera/Intel Location: Santa Cruz, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jeffdasilva I'm a software engineer with nearly 20 years of experience solving hard problems at the intersection of hardware and software. For most of my career, I worked at Altera (acquired by Intel), where I led projects ranging from modularizing multi-million-line codebases to designing scalable DevOps infrastructure and embedded systems. What gets me fired up is making developers faster—whether that means building smarter dependency analyzers, eliminating flaky CI pipelines, or rethinking how embedded systems are built and validated. I bring a deep background in compilers, embedded development, and toolchain design, paired with a pragmatic approach to modernizing legacy systems without breaking everything. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Cerebras Systems Jan 2025 – Present ### Senior Software Engineer @ Altera Jan 2006 – Jan 2025 | San Jose, California, United States [2019–2025] Build Systems & DevOps Architecture [2012–2018] Firmware & Embedded Tools [2006–2011] Compiler/Toolchain Developer ## Education ### Master's Degree in Computer Engineering University of Toronto ### Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering University of Toronto ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-dasilva --- Source: https://flows.cv/jeffdasilva JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/jeffdasilva/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-11
