I am a third-year Electronics and Communication Engineering undergraduate at the University of Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE), Bengaluru, with a CGPA of 9.07. My work sits at the intersection of analog IC design, RF/microwave systems, and embedded hardware — I care about circuits that interact with the physical world at the signal level.
I serve as Co-Lead of Product Development and Coordinator for Design & Prototyping at MARVEL, a student-run, alumni-funded makerspace at UVCE focused on hands-on engineering and open-source hardware. I am currently a research intern at IISc’s Department of Aerospace Engineering and have been selected for the IIT Madras Summer Fellowship in IC Design (Digital/Analog/Mixed-Signal).
My active technical work includes:
- Analog IC Design — StrongARM latch comparator migrated to Sky130B PDK (Xschem + ngspice), building toward open-source analog IP for MARVEL’s coursework and Tiny Tapeout submission
- RF/Spectrum Systems — Hardware-aware spectrum monitoring of the 865–867 MHz ISM band, combining an envelope detector, CMOS comparator threshold, and FPGA-based FFT (Basys3)
- Embedded Hardware — HeartGuard HG V1.1, a reduced-lead arrhythmia detection PCB using ADS1298 + STM32F411 + BLE, targeting real-time ECG classification with minimal leads
- Power Systems — CanSat power architecture: Li-ion 18650 → LDO for MCU/sensors, boost converter for servo, with full power budget and battery sizing
My tool stack includes Magic, Netgen, Xschem, ngspice, volare, and the Sky130B PDK on Ubuntu 24.04.
