Knowledgeable about the ASIC design flow, including System Verilog RTL implementation.

Skilled in defining ASIC microarchitecture to meet functional requirements while managing performance, power, and area trade-offs.
Knowledgeable in Lint, CDC, RDC, Synthesis and STA.
Expertise in design domains such as memory subsystems, bus interfaces, CPU integration, DMA engines, Compression, Security IP design, and high-speed/low-speed peripherals like PCIE, QSPI, UART, and SPMI.
Thorough understanding of cross clock-domain design principles and associated CDC requirements.
Familiarity with ASIC low power design techniques, including multiple supply domains configuration, dynamic power/clock scaling, and power analysis.
Familiarity with ASIC test methodologies, encompassing DFT, scan insertion, memory BIST, and other related techniques.
Strong communication skills, both written and oral.
