I am an Electrical Engineering graduate focused on embedded systems, firmware, FPGA-based hardware/software integration, digital design, and semiconductor/VLSI systems.

My project work includes STM32 firmware, Zephyr RTOS experimentation, FPGA soft-core processor integration, a 5-stage pipelined RISC-V processor in SystemVerilog, full-custom CMOS VLSI design, and MOSFET fabrication process lab work.

I am currently targeting early-career roles in:

• Embedded Systems Engineering
• Firmware Engineering
• Embedded Validation / Hardware Test
• FPGA / RTL / Digital Design
• SoC / Digital Verification
• VLSI / Semiconductor Engineering
• Electronics Manufacturing / Process / Test Engineering
