About

Engineer by profession. Mentor by passion. Speaker by intent. I work at the intersection of hardware and software, helping build high-performance systems that shape the future of computing. I am currently a Senior R&D Engineer at Synopsys, with prior experience at NVIDIA, AMD, and Xilinx, and an alumnus of BITS Pilani and Banaras Hindu University. Over 4+ years, my work has spanned VLSI design, digital systems, computer architecture, and hardware–software co-design, giving me a system-level perspective on how real-world products are built. Beyond engineering, I deeply enjoy working with people and careers. I actively mentor students and professionals in: • VLSI & digital design • System architecture • Hardware & software interview preparation • Resume building and career decision-making I have provided structured, personalized preparation strategies that have helped mentees secure roles at leading semiconductor companies such as NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, Micron, MediaTek, NXP, Analog Devices, Synopsys, and Cadence, with a success rate of ~90%. I’m also a public speaker and improv performer, blending humor, clarity, and insight in talks that aim to inform, inspire, and stay with the audience long after they end. I enjoy collaborating on ideas and projects that bridge technology, mindset, and storytelling—whether through mentoring, writing, workshops, or building something meaningful. I also share reflections on psychology, sociology, and spirituality, themes that help us grow not just as professionals, but as humans. Whether you’re looking to: • break into the semiconductor industry • navigate a career transition • prepare for placements or interviews • or simply seek clarity through a thoughtful conversation —I’m happy to connect. 📌 Open to conducting workshops and talks • Colleges: placement prep, interview skills, resume building, career mindset • Companies: mentoring sessions, upskilling programs, interactive talks with insight & humor Feel free to reach out for: • 1:1 mentoring or interview preparation • Resume reviews with honest, actionable feedback • Speaking engagements, workshops, or collaborations • Conversations that go beyond work and into purpose Let’s learn, grow, and build better—together.
