Atif Zafar, MD
I am a physician entrepreneur who is a self-taught computer engineer. I have had a 30+ year passion for computer graphics, hardware design, programming, FPGAs and other tech areas. I now have 10 companies I have either founded, manage, consult with or support. I also practice medicine as a hospitalist in a Level-1 trauma center one week out of three. My tech-related companies include the following:
- Brane Technologies (www.branetechnologies.com)
- Pixilica (www.pixilica.com)
- Xcellonix
- Visual Dynamics Simulation Technologies
We are designing everything from small FPGA boards for hobbyists, students and makers to single board supercomputers that embrace the heterogeneous system architecture to new ASIC designs that will comprise a new highly disruptive graphics supercomputer design to PC based high-end simulation systems for military, civilian and advanced compute applications.
