Aiken Pang was born in Hong Kong in the early 80s just in time
for the home micro-computer revolution. He developed an interest in
computers after finding an Apple IIe at his uncle's home,
installing a TV card, floppy drive and loaded his first game
(Pacman) by himself at the age of 10. Since then he has
taught himself a number of programming languages and built
his own computers from scratch.
Aiken followed his passion for computing into more formal studies
and holds a BEng in Electronics Engineering and an MSc in Computer
Engineering from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the
University of Massachusetts at Lowell respectively. He has been
using VHDL to design hardware in FPGAs for over 10 years.
He lives in the USA with his wife France and their daughter
Mayah.
