What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply end-to-end VLSI and hardware-software literacy to support research operations at the quantum computing interface, working closely with cross-functional teams and delivering accurate technical documentation through strong EDA and verification workflows.

I’m an Electrical and Electronics Engineering graduate with hands-on experience across the full hardware stack—from mathematical filter specification and Verilog RTL design through physical chip layout and GDSII generation. I was trained in cleanroom semiconductor manufacturing at STL Kenya, with exposure to FEOL and BEOL processes in a live production environment.

I coordinate EDA and verification workflows using Xschem for schematic capture, MATLAB/Simulink for simulation and signal analysis, and KLayout for IC layout, mask generation, and DRC. I’m comfortable across the software–hardware boundary—producing accurate technical documentation and supporting cross-functional engineering teams—and I’m currently deepening systems-level programming skills in Rust while seeking to apply my end-to-end literacy to research operations at the quantum computing interface.
