What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level embedded/FPGA role with hands-on hardware-software integration, mentorship, practical projects, and opportunities to grow in digital design and FPGA development.

I am an aspiring embedded systems engineer driven by curiosity, hands-on experimentation, and a passion for integrating hardware and software. I focus on FPGA programming using VHDL and SystemVerilog, reliable SPI/UART communication, and Arduino-based automation.

I have designed and validated an FPGA-based UART module with configurable baud rates, clock-domain synchronization, and real-time testing, and I built an Arduino-driven gutter cleaner robot that integrates sensors, motor control, and debris collection for semi-autonomous operation. My projects emphasize timing accuracy, modular design, and practical problem solving.

I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Electrotechnology and have completed certificates in digital design, FPGA/VHDL tooling, IoT basics, and AI/data fundamentals. I enjoy collaborative work, continuous learning, and applying FPGA and embedded skills to deliver efficient, real-world solutions.
