Currently working as Verification architect at AITC team of Intel technologies, delivering many Mixed Signal IP's and Test chips. Was lucky enough to secure dream job in VLSI during the great recession time period (2008 to 2009), my career starts just after securing a high Score in master degree in VLSI Design engineering from one of the reputed institutions. Though good at Coding when chances are given my choice was to follow my passions in Art of validations. One has to think limitlessly in the infante space of possibilities to prove or disprove a Design, this challenging nature of the validation jobs and its problem-solving requirements made me passionate about this job. Throughout these 14 years of Carer was part of various validations teams across the industries with Cutting edge technologies like Routers, OMAP, Modem, DSP, Processors, High speed interfaces, Memories, Driver less car, Multi -pixel Phone, server & client Devices. Also, could work for SoCs, Subsystems, Test Chips and IP's. Passion towards uncompromised Quality and validations helps keeping me energetic throughout the day even after spending hours in, various day to day challenges and problem-solving activities.
