About

I have 20 year's of experience as ASIC/ FPGA Design Engineer with extensive experience designing complex Machine Learning, GPU, Computer Vision, processor. Expertise in designing modules suitable for requirement and algorithms. Proven strengths in designing hardware modules for performance, area, power and timing closure. Expertise in computer vision, neural network, and image/ video processing algorithms, Video codecs processors. As a design engineer successfully taped out as many as 12 SOC’s. Hands on experience on Failure mode analysis includes fault in the safety mechanism and to determine diagnostic coverage for the processor based system and Part of ISO-26262 working group member and responsible to meet IP for ASIL-x capable. I am also have working experience in the Development, Verification and Validation processes of CEH adherence to DO-254 Level A, B and C Devices and having exposer to board schematic design and debugging tools like Debussy, Oscilloscope, Function Generator, Altera-Signal Tap, Xilinx Chipscope Pro Logic Analyzer, CRO for board bring-up activities and linting and timing tools like Spy glass and PT for multi clock domain design. I have implemented soft-core processor based systems using Altera's SOPC Builder and NiosII-IDE. And has worked on many industry standard interfaces and products namely for PCI-X; 1553B; STANAG 3350 video interface, Audio interface like I2S, TDM, other serial communication protocols like CAN, SPI, RS-232, RS-485, I2C, ARINC-429. also having good experience in low voltage high speed differential signaling based acquisition system. Implementing complex algorithms in RTL namely Frame synchronizers, Huffman-Tree and worked on variety of projects covering applications in domains like Avionics, video processing, Medical, defense, DSP, Data acquisition.
