VLSI Design Tutorial
in Virtuoso & MATLAB

June 2023

Tutorial on Github & YouTube

Anticlockwise from top: custom VerilogA testbench module, the 8-bit adder I implemented in Virtuoso, screengrab from my VLSI tutorial.

I created transistor-level schematics and layouts for a variety of digital logic modules: 8-bit ripple-carry and PTL adders, registers. Utilized 90nm PDK and performed parasitic extraction, transient timing analysis, and minimized area-delay product of modules. Gained significant experience with LVS & DRC workflow. Devised 24 test suites and implemented test module in VerilogA, created MATLAB script to automate device waveform verification.

I was invited by Professor Edwin Kan to create a tutorial for the Cornell University course ECE 4740: VLSI Design, detailing the use of VerilogA and MATLAB to automate module verification in testing in Virtuoso. I look forward working with Prof. Edwin Kan as a Teaching Assistant for ECE 4740 in the Spring 2024 semester!

300W Power Routing PCB for Wave Energy Converter, Cornell SEA Lab

February 2023 to May 2023

Github

Working with a multidisciplinary engineering team, I designed the schematic and layout for 300W-rated PCB in KiCad, used to route power from a wave-powered renewable energy generator. I also led the design of a finite-state machine for power routing relay control under different power generation conditions, I co-authored the program, written in embedded C, to run on an STM microcontroller.

Founder & Full-stack App Developer
Swapp, the campus marketplace app

Download on iOS

January 2021 - June 2022

I founded Swapp, a student marketplace platform app (available on iOS) designed to reduce dorm waste and create a circular economy on campus by facilitating buying/selling/exchanging preloved items.

I led the overall design team of 10 members, and coached team of 3 developers in full-stack app development. Built frontend in React Native and Expo; implemented backend database (Firebase) and full-text search (Algolia). Oversaw user acquisition to scale Swapp by upwards of 150 new users within 4 months.

Full-stack App Developer Intern
Snackpass

May 2021 - August 2021

I engineered a new full-stack feature for the platform's storefront purchase system using React Native (Redux, TypeScript) and NodeJS as part of a 3-person project team. This project enabled Snackpass to onboard a crucial business partner.

I also engaged in design reviews with cross-cutting development teams, created PR reviews, and gained experience using CI/CD in GitHub. I was also responsible for developing test suites using Jest to verify server-side methods for time-sensitive transactions and notifications.
