Design and operate physical compute infrastructure from digital logic and server components through CPUs/GPUs/accelerators, racks, networking, storage, power and thermal systems, manufacturing, validation, reliability and fleet lifecycle.
BASIC
- Boolean Logic & Logic Gates — Crash Course Computer Science (~10 min)
Build the digital-logic foundation behind compute hardware: gates, Boolean operations and how logic becomes useful circuits. - The Central Processing Unit (CPU) — Crash Course Computer Science (~11 min)
Understand instruction execution, registers, ALUs, control units and the basic architecture that turns circuits into a programmable computer. - How Do Transistors Build Into a CPU? — Branch Education (~17 min)
Connect semiconductor switches to logic gates, arithmetic and the physical construction of modern processors.
INTERMEDIATE
- High-Speed PCB Design: Mastering EMI/EMC on 8+ Layer Boards — Altium Academy
Learn stackups, power/signal layers, routing and EMI/EMC practices used in high-speed digital hardware. - How to Ensure Good Signal Integrity — Altium Academy
Build practical signal-integrity intuition for high-speed buses and board-level design reviews. - Blackwell: The Journey From Die to Data Center — NVIDIA
Connect accelerator silicon, boards, systems, networking and data-center integration as one platform.
ADVANCED
- 1MW Racks: Power and Liquid Cooling — Open Compute Project
Architect for rack-scale power density, cooling, serviceability and next-generation AI infrastructure. - EVT / DVT / PVT — Server Bring-Up & Validation
Structure qualification from PCBA bring-up through system/rack integration, manufacturing gates and production ramp. - Hardware Failure Analysis & Root Cause
Use failure data, test evidence and corrective-action loops to improve design quality and fleet reliability.
