At IRADA - Pakistan, I’m verifying a complete DDS core using UVM-based verification and SystemVerilog. I’m developing testbenches, functional coverage, assertions, and verification environments to check RTL functionality.

At NUST Chip Design Centre, I gained hands-on experience across the ASIC design flow, from RTL design through physical implementation and verification. I worked with RISC-V architecture and used SystemVerilog, Verilog, and C++.

Before that, at CISNR, I developed computer vision pipelines for Safe City initiatives, implementing CNN, R-CNN, and YOLO models for real-time event detection. That work gave me experience on both sides of the hardware-software boundary, and I’m deepening my focus on AI accelerator architecture.
