About

With over nine years of experience in semiconductor validation and hardware design, I have contributed to the development of cutting-edge products and technologies across various industries. My expertise lies in DDR, Emulation, FPGA prototyping, Verilog, and SystemVerilog. At Synopsys, I focused on DDR5 and SD & EMMC controller prototyping, utilizing my skills in FPGA prototyping, Verilog, and SystemVerilog. I collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to ensure successful product launches and helped advance technology to enhance user experience. At Qualcomm, I was responsible for the emulation of I2c, I3C, UART, SPI, PCIe, USB peripherals. I leveraged my skills in hardware emulation, FPGA prototyping, and design modification to generate bitfiles and run basic tests. My experience in developing verification testbenches using Verilog was invaluable in verifying memory subsystems and interconnects, ensuring they met design specifications. In addition, I have experience working with SDRAM, SRAM, AXI, AHB, and APB at Haritsa Design Automation. I contributed to the design and verification of memory interfaces, AHB to APB bridges, and AXI interconnects. My experience in developing verification testbenches using Verilog and SystemVerilog was instrumental in ensuring these subsystems met design specifications. Working with cross-functional teams at all three organizations, I have gained a deep understanding of the end-to-end product development process. I am skilled in working on complex SoC designs and enjoy collaborating with colleagues to achieve common goals. Overall, I am passionate about innovation and excited to leverage my skills and expertise to drive technology forward in the semiconductor industry. My strong quality assurance background, coupled with my Bachelor of Engineering degree focused on Electronics and Communications Engineering from J N N College of Engineering, SHIMOGA, has enabled me to deliver high-quality results and develop effective solutions.
