Care to mention in what field you did your bachelors and masters? You got into FPGAs though CS or through EE? I'm always curious about FPGA engineers.

Heya, did my undegrads as EE, changed it halfway from a 4 year MENG course to a 3 year bachelors because I was bored of the power distribution related stuff. Went on to do a masters in Advanced Microelectronics Design. I had contact with FPGA's in both my undergrad and my masters. I selected my BENG thesis on an ARM M0 soft implementation on an FPGA that implemented an expanded instruction set with increased performance on the SHA-1 algorithm.
