About

I'm an Electronics Engineering undergrad at VIT Chennai specializing in VLSI Design & Technology. My work sits at the intersection of digital design, FPGA acceleration, and machine learning on hardware.

I've taped out RTL designs, deployed a multi-layer perceptron on FPGA for real-time pixel classification, and led research teams writing papers on emerging semiconductor topics.

When I'm not chasing timing closure, I'm mentoring younger engineers through IEEE EDS and breaking down complex physics problems for high-schoolers.

Focus
