About

I’m a Dual Degree student at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, studying Economics and Electronics & Communication Engineering. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong interest in two areas that might seem unrelated: digital VLSI and finance. On the tech side, I’m genuinely passionate about digital hardware design—things like RTL coding, FPGA prototyping, and computer architecture. I love digging into the details of how processors work and how hardware can be optimized for performance and efficiency. At the same time, I have a parallel interest in finance. I enjoy understanding markets, working with data, and applying analytical tools to financial problems—whether it’s through coursework or hands-on projects. While I see these as separate interests for now, I’m open to where either path might lead, and I’m always looking to learn more and work on challenging problems in both fields.

Undergraduate Research Assistant

Jan 2025 – Apr 2025 · 3 mos · Hyderabad, Telangana, India

Worked under the guidance of Dr. Kanika Monga on designing a True Random Number Generator (TRNG) using a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) in Verilog.
The TRNG uses entropy from a joystick's SPI output, combining the lower 6 bits of X and Y positions to create a 12-bit seed.
The design is optimized for low power and area for edge device applications and is validated through NIST statistical tests to ensure randomness quality.
