I'm a chip design engineer interested in computer architecture, high-performance systems, and ASIC design.
Currently, I'm a Founding Chip Design Engineer at Tattvam AI, working across ASIC implementation, RISC-V systems, and EDA.
I like understanding how architectural ideas survive contact with real hardware - from microarchitecture and RTL to timing, physical implementation, and silicon. Along the way, I've worked on RISC-V systems including Snitch and CVA6, floating-point datapaths, ASIC implementation, and silicon bring-up.
More broadly, I enjoy building things, writing down what I learn, and following interesting technical questions wherever they lead.
- Computer architecture & microarchitecture
- High-performance computing systems
- Floating-point & accelerator architectures
- Hardware/software co-design
- Physical-aware architecture and PPA
- ASIC design & implementation
- EDA and design automation
Snitch - Pseudo Dual-Issue ISA Extension
- Designed and implemented a custom RISC-V extension for Monte Carlo workloads, reaching 1.75 IPC and 90% FPU utilization while maintaining negligible PPA overhead after synthesis.
Iguana SoC - RTL to GDSII & Tapeout
- Took a 64-bit Linux-capable RISC-V SoC through physical implementation and DRC closure in IHP 130nm, with the resulting implementation going to tapeout.
Floating-Point Div/Sqrt Unit
-
Integrated and verified a Radix-4 SRT floating-point division/square-root unit, achieving 2× maximum frequency, 46% lower area, and 38% lower energy per operation.
-
The work was upstreamed to OpenHW Group's
cvfpu.
ASIC / Physical Design & EDA
- More recently, I've been working across RISC-V CPU implementation, SRAM integration, timing optimization, floorplanning, and EDA flows - which has made me increasingly interested in the boundary between architecture and physical reality.
I'm currently spending more time thinking about:
computer architecture · high-performance systems · physical-aware design
Outside hardware, I also enjoy building small applications and vibe-coding, as well as writing and learning languages.
I'm starting to write more about things I learn and questions I find interesting - mostly around hardware, architecture, systems, and engineering.
More soon.
