What I'm looking for

I’m interested in work involving embodied AI, multimodal perception, robotics, VLSI, or connected systems.

On Ember GPU, I designed a GPU SoC from scratch in SystemVerilog, integrating a rasterizer, tensor array, FPU, and custom processor. I verified it against independent Python models and scripted the RTL-to-routed-GDS-II flow.

I also designed a complete RV32IM RISC-V SoC and carried it through physical implementation to clean GDS-II sign-off. For an imitation-learning robotic arm, I built a 6-DOF manipulator and recorded demonstrations to train a PyTorch Behavior Cloning policy for real-time control.

My other work includes an IBVS-based sorting system selected for IEEE Xplore and an automated blade inspection station for Bharat Forge Aerospace. I’m interested in embodied AI, multimodal perception, robotics, VLSI, and connected systems.
