Amrita EEE × IIT Madras DS  ·  Building at the seam

Intelligent systems,
end to end.

From world models to the silicon that runs them — RTL, verification, edge AI, and the agents that tie them together. I care about the engineering that turns intelligent models into real systems.

The systems I like to build

Nine domains. One stack.

Agentic AI

Planning, tool use, memory, and multi-agent workflows — systems that reason, act, and adapt.

planner→tool·memory→critic

Verification

UVM, cocotb, coverage, and adversarial testing — verification that goes beyond simply turning tests green.

stimulus→DUT→scoreboard→coverage

Silicon / RTL

SystemVerilog, systolic accelerators, and RTL — a patent-pending BNN array, down to tapeout literacy.

RTL→PE array→SRAM→accelerator

Edge AI

Hardware-aware vision transformers, quantization, and deployment — sub-100 ms inference on AMD Versal at ISRO.

FP32→INT8→NPU→inference

EDA

EDA automation, design flows, and intelligent tooling — pushing hardware development toward autonomous workflows.

RTL→synthesis→P&R→timing

LLMs

On-device inference, quantization, and RAG — making large models fit where they actually have to run.

Reinforcement Learning

Model-based RL and world models — planning inside a learned latent instead of the real world.

DevOps

Docker, CI/CD, APIs, and deployment — turning research prototypes into reproducible systems.

Quantumexploring

Variational circuits and QML — the newest thread, learning in the open.

Where I've worked

Internships & research.

May – Jun 2026
Hyderabad
ISRO

Edge AI Research Intern

ADRIN — NRSC, ISRO
Deployed an INT8-quantized MobileViTv2-XS vision transformer on the AMD Versal VCK190 (Vitis AI / HLS / Vivado) for onboard Earth-observation inference; ran latency/throughput/utilization trade-offs across Versal and Zynq.
sub-100 ms onboard inference

Coimbatore
BNN

Hardware Research Engineer

BNN Systolic Accelerator · Research
Designed and verified a patent-pending 64×64 systolic-array binary neural network accelerator in SystemVerilog for energy-efficient edge inference, with full RTL verification and performance analysis.
374.5 GOP/s · 92.8 GOP/s/W · 10.67× speedup
May – Jul 2025
Bengaluru
WIP

AI-ML Engineering Intern

Wipro
Built a production spam/ham text classifier (TF-IDF → Random Forest with a logistic-regression meta-classifier) for high-volume enterprise streams, then re-architected the real-time inference pipeline with batching and vectorized preprocessing.
−13.4% processing latency at scale

Let's build something
at the seam.

Open to AI systems, Edge AI and EDA roles — and interesting problems at the hardware/ML boundary.
