What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to ASIC, FPGA, low-power, verification, or embedded systems work where I can build and validate hardware from RTL through implementation.

At Siemens EDA, I developed a SPEF Profiler workflow for PowerPro that integrated physical parasitic data into RTL power analysis and improved RTL-to-physical net matching accuracy to 95%.

I've designed a pipelined SystemVerilog CNN accelerator reaching 206 MHz while meeting area constraints, and built a 32-bit five-stage pipelined RISC-V processor with hazard detection, forwarding, FPGA synthesis, and constrained-random verification.

I also build embedded and IoT systems, including an Orange Summer Challenge-winning assistive device using ESP32, Raspberry Pi, cloud services, and real-time communication protocols. My work spans low-power design, ASIC and FPGA flows, RTL, verification, firmware, and hardware-software integration.
