About Dan Sisson
I don't write about these industries from a distance. I spent 40 years inside them — and I moved to the center of where they're converging before most people knew it was happening.
My name is Dan Sisson. I'm a industrial systems-trained electrical engineer, cloud infrastructure content developer, and knowledge platform builder. My career began designing control systems for GE nuclear reactors, NSA power grids, NASA wind tunnels, and nuclear complexes — work that required a DOE security clearance. I then spent nearly three decades inside Microsoft documenting cloud infrastructure, security standards, and AI/ML systems at the practitioner level.
SiliconPlans - spanning ElectronsX, SemiconductorX, DatacentersX, 137ai, AustinIO, and 5IREnterprise - is what I built to map what I see. It is not a content operation. It is a knowledge graph: structured, entity-resolved, cross-linked reference infrastructure designed to compound in value the way a canonical reference does, not the way an article does. Each site represents a thesis about where an ecosystem is going and what the structural knowledge gaps are right now.
About SemiconductorX
SemiconductorX is the silicon supply chain pillar of the SiliconPlans network. It maps the full semiconductor stack — from upstream materials and IP through front-end wafer fabrication, back-end assembly and packaging, chip types, and the sector demand layer that drives production priorities. The editorial thesis is direct: semiconductor supply chains are the rate-limiting constraint on every other technology transition in the network. Nothing in electrification, autonomy, AI compute, or physical robotics moves faster than the fab capacity and chip architectures that enable it.
Coverage spans fab facilities and equipment, process technology, advanced packaging, OSAT, metrology, and the geopolitical and trade dynamics — export controls, CHIPS Act, China bifurcation — that make semiconductor supply chains one of the defining strategic contests of this decade.
Editorial approach: Independent and unadvertised. No sponsor directs coverage. Content is structured for both technical practitioners and strategic analysts — organized as a knowledge graph with cross-links to the electrification, compute, and governance layers of the SiliconPlans network.
SemiconductorX is part of the SiliconPlans network, which maps the full AI-industrial stack from silicon through systems, deployment, and governance.
