Alan Reyes spent twenty-six years tracking the semiconductor industry for a global technology analyst firm, the last twelve as research director for process technology. His briefs on node transitions, yield economics and advanced packaging were read in procurement offices and boardrooms on three continents, and he has briefed everyone from startup founders to national trade delegations on what a roadmap slide actually means.
He surveys fab executives, equipment suppliers and design-house engineers each quarter, and interviews the people who sign off on process roadmaps before those roadmaps reach a slide deck. That network — built over decades of conference corridors and off-record briefings — is what he brings to DailyTech's silicon coverage: numbers with provenance, and claims checked against the people who would know.
At DailyTech he reviews processor and accelerator launches and writes the long analyses behind them. His standard is the one he held his analyst teams to: every figure sourced, every forecast labelled as one, and no conclusion a vendor wouldn't be able to dispute on the record.
