VLSI Engineer · Interactive Education
I create interactive simulations and visualizations that turn abstract VLSI and software concepts into hands-on learning experiences.
About
Senior EMIR CAD Engineer at Microsoft, previously at Qualcomm and NXP. I build automation and AI-assisted debug workflows that cut analysis turnaround from days to hours — so engineers spend time fixing problems, not finding them.

Things I build on weekends to make VLSI concepts more accessible — interactive, visual, and free for everyone.
PDN Toy Tools →Analyze shortest path resistance in an interactive 3D power grid. Visualize optimal current paths through multi-layer metal stacks in real-time.
Launch Tool →Explore voltage distribution in an interactive 3D landscape. Watch columns shrink and turn red as current flows, revealing dangerous IR drop zones.

Work With Me
"Superb easy explanation. Good insight provided overall about EMIR learning."
"First session was very helpful, with introduction of Python basics. Looking for more sessions on dashboard development."
"Very nice session and your way of explanation is pretty good. Looking forward to listening at you again."
"Insightful session — he gave me pointers where I should focus, and materials to use. Overall very helpful."
"Really helpful as a kickstart to learning Python for VLSI. He also guided to additional resources."
