/ABOUT

I am an Electronics & Communication graduate, now pursuing an M.Tech in VLSI Design at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. I work across the silicon stack — from RTL that verifies cleanly, to custom layouts that pass DRC/LVS, to device simulation I can trust.

Digital: Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design with self-checking testbenches and waveform verification in QuestaSim/ModelSim — flip-flop families, counters, and an ALU, every one verified rather than just simulated. Analog/Custom: schematic capture, layout, DRC/LVS, parasitic extraction and post-layout simulation in Cadence Virtuoso. Device/TCAD: semiconductor device simulation in Synopsys Sentaurus across a material-engineered PN diode study and photodiodes in Si, Ge, GaAs and 4H-SiC.

The part of IC design most people skip is verification — it is the part that catches real bugs, and it is what I obsess over. I also mentor RTL and firmware workshops with the IEEE SSCS Student Branch.

Seeking full-time Digital, RTL Verification, Analog/Mixed-Signal & Physical Design roles.
