Joe Decuir is an IEEE fellow engineer. He received a degree in electrical engineering and computer science at Berkeley.

In the Fall of '82 he was contacted by Jay Miner and became badge #3 of Amiga, then called Hi-Toro. He revisited the block diagram for a 16-bit "entertainment computer", drawn back when he worked at Atari. Joe was one of the architects of the whiteboard drawing of the Amiga Lorraine system hardware. He also drew up much of the early schematics for Agnus and timing diagrams.

However by the following year, it became expensive to keep him at Amiga. He was paid through April and eventually stopped showing up altogether. He then returned to Atari to do contracting work for their 1090 XL Expansion System.

In 1985, Joe and his consulting company Teledesign worked on the unreleased AnswerMate telephone answering device for the Amiga 1000.
