About

I'm an RTL Design Engineer specializing in digital hardware design, working at the intersection of algorithm optimization and FPGA implementation. My focus is building circuits that are not just correct — but fast, lean, and timing-clean.

My graduate research at the M.Tech level centred on arithmetic circuit optimization: combining Booth radix-4 encoding with hybrid adder trees to push multiplication performance well beyond ripple-carry baselines on Xilinx Artix-7 silicon.

I validate everything — 1,024 test vectors, zero violations. Design without verification is guesswork.
