Software Engineer at SoftJin Technologies. 2008-2010
Implemented the digital blocks using Verilog HDL and verified on FPGA.
Developed software routines to transfer data between FPGA and system using C.
Developed test regression setups using TCL and Perl scripts. Teaching Assistant at IITM, Chennai. 2011-2014
Worked as teaching assistant for the courses Digital Design and Networks & Systems. SKILLS
Skills : Digital design using Verilog, understanding of STA and scripting. Languages : Verilog, C, Python, Matlab, Shell scripting, TCL. Software : Xilinx ISE, Synopsys design compiler, LATEX, HSPICE. Experience in Design and Verification
Designed and verified the serial communication IPs RS-232 and SPI in verilog HDL. Serial communication from FPGA to PC is tested on FPGA board. System calls written in C are used to send and receive the data at the PC side.
An arbiter is designed using verilog HDL which acts as interface between serial interface and video encoder in FPGA and it is verified on FPGA board.
During the course work, designed and verified algorithm for finding Hadamard transform in verilog HDL. Tested on FPGA board.
Designed an asynchronous FIFO using Verilog HDL. Experience in scripting
Created the regression setup to test the place and route tool using TCL. Script picks up test cases in the folder, runs the tool, check the log and gives the result. This helped us to test the tool very effectively on every release of the tool.

MS THESIS
Thesis involves Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) on digital circuits with the proposed skew-canonical delay model, which has results with same accuracy as quadratic delay models with a marginal computational overhead compared to conventional linear SSTA. SSTA algorithms were implemented using the Python language and verified on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits against Monte- Carlo simulations.
