About

I am a Senior FPGA and Embedded Systems Engineer with extensive experience designing and implementing high-performance digital systems using Verilog, VHDL, and SystemVerilog. My background includes RTL architecture design, IP core development, timing closure optimization, and full FPGA implementation flow using Xilinx Vivado and Intel Quartus toolchains.

I have delivered FPGA-based solutions for signal processing, sensor integration, high-speed communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, AXI), and SoC-based systems including Zynq platforms. My expertise covers simulation and verification (ModelSim/Questa), hardware debugging, embedded Linux integration, and system-level hardware/software co-design.

I specialize in translating complex system requirements into efficient, resource-optimized FPGA architectures while ensuring clean timing, scalability, and long-term maintainability. I am experienced in working with cross-functional teams and delivering production-ready designs with clear documentation and validation reports.

My strengths include problem-solving under constraints, structured design methodology, and delivering reliable hardware solutions on schedule
