I am an FPGA/RTL and Digital Signal Processing Engineer with three years of experience in digital design, real-time signal processing, and high-speed data acquisition. My main strengths are VHDL, AMD/Xilinx Vivado, and translating MATLAB algorithms into efficient, synthesizable hardware. I enjoy taking a design from algorithm modeling through RTL development, simulation, FPGA implementation, and hardware validation.

My career includes engineering roles at Hamgam Radin and Farazaman Afaq Iranian, alongside freelance FPGA work since 2023. I have implemented signal-processing algorithms, developed real-time processing pipelines, and worked on peripheral bring-up using MicroBlaze and Zynq devices. My work involves balancing numerical accuracy, throughput, latency, timing constraints, and FPGA resource utilization.

My project experience includes matrix inversion, covariance matrix computation, beamforming, eigenvalue decomposition, monobit receivers, pulse descriptor word processing, and CDIF-based signal analysis. I have also implemented FIR filters, envelope detection, pulse detection, modulation detection, and signal feature extraction. These projects have strengthened my ability to convert complex mathematical algorithms into practical hardware architectures and verify their behavior against MATLAB models.

My technical achievements include implementing and bringing up 1-Gigabit Ethernet communication over SGMII, developing processing pipelines for high-speed ADC data, and using multi-sample-per-clock architectures for real-time processing. I have optimized RTL designs for timing, resource usage, throughput, and latency, with hands-on experience in pipelining, finite-state machines, clock domain crossing, testbench development, and hardware debugging.

I hold an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Integrated Circuits from Tarbiat Modarres University, where my thesis involved the design and analysis of a phase-locked loop. I also hold a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering–Electronics from the University of Mazandaran. This background gives me a foundation in digital systems, CMOS design, and analog and mixed-signal concepts.

I am particularly interested in FPGA acceleration, DSP hardware, high-speed interfaces, and embedded systems built around Zynq and MicroBlaze. I am also expanding my expertise in ASIC development and RTL verification. I am seeking remote engineering roles or freelance projects where I can contribute to challenging FPGA/RTL designs, solve practical implementation problems, and continue developing my technical skills.
