Bio
Eric Morton
I first met Brendan while he was an intern and he traveled to Austin to aid in a bringup of a complicated processor chip. At that time, I had no idea he was still a student - he had the experience and knowledge that was superior to engineers that have been in the field for years. He was vital to our project and delivered in every way. Since then, I continue to be impressed by Brendan. He provides high quality support, even while only being part time during his continued studies. He clearly understands complex computer engineering features. I sincerely hope that Brendan continues to work with AMD, and know that he will be a great addition to any company.
