About Me
Hey there — I'm a VLSI Design engineer and a programmer with a passion for digital design, robotics and embedded systems. Currently working as a Product Validation Engineer II at Cadence, validating mixed-signal and EM workflows across Virtuoso Suite.
Previously interned at Cadence on RF/EM flow integration, and built gameplay systems at Hashstash. M.Tech. in VLSI Design, B.Tech. in Electronics & Communications Engineering.

Featured work
Designed a radiation sensing system using a RAW CMOS camera sensor interfaced to Raspberry Pi via CSI. Built a custom image processing pipeline in Python with OpenCV for demosaicing, denoising, adaptive thresholding, and pixel clustering. Implemented near real-time dose computation on embedded Linux hardware.
Real-Time Radiation Dosimetry Using RAW Camera Sensor
Designed and implemented an 8-core synthesizable GPGPU capable of FP16 and integer arithmetic. Integrated deeply pipelined FP units along with an SFU using Newton–Raphson and Goldschmidt methods. Synthesized using FreePDK45 and OpenROAD, optimized to clock at 500 MHz at 45 nm node.
8-Core General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit
Designed multithreaded firmware across both ESP32 cores using FreeRTOS task scheduling, mutexes, and semaphores. Integrated A2DP Bluetooth audio streaming with external codec over I2S/I2C. Optimized power consumption using ESP32 ULP coprocessor and dynamic task management.
Custom Bluetooth Speaker with Dual-Core FreeRTOS firmware
Modeled full 6-DOF quadcopter dynamics using Newton–Euler formalism. Designed nested PID control architecture for roll, pitch, yaw stabilization and outer-loop position tracking. Built a piece-wise quadratic spline trajectory generator for smooth 3D paths with feedforward + feedback integration.
