Summary

I am a seasoned ASIC Physical Design professional with a solid 15-year history of success, spanning the full spectrum from RTL to GDS II. My career has been marked by significant roles at industry giants including Cadence, Intel, Microchip, Qualcomm, and PMC Sierra, where I've mastered a range of advanced technologies, from Intel's groundbreaking 18A and 20A processes to the intricate 5nm, 7nm, 10nm, and 16nm nodes. My expertise encompasses the intricate processes of RTL synthesis, floor planning, power planning, placement, and Clock Tree Synthesis, as well as Routing. I am proficient in performing logic-equivalence checks, lower power checks, Static Timing Analysis, IR-EM analysis, and Physical verification, with a particular knack for handling complex designs with multiple power domains and voltages. My track record with multimillion gate counts and high-frequency designs is a testament to my capability in managing and executing large-scale projects with precision. Additionally, my strong foundation in EDA flow development enhances my technical prowess. As an adept scripter in TCL, Perl, and Python, I excel at automating and refining processes for peak efficiency and pinpoint accuracy in design execution. My comprehensive skill set and proven experience position me as an invaluable contributor to any team aiming to advance the frontiers of ASIC Physical Design.
