Work Background
Tech. Lead & Customer engagement (FPGA & Emulation)
Intel CorporationTech. Lead & Customer engagement (FPGA & Emulation)
Jan. 2018San Francisco Bay Area• Led hands-on bring-up of VCS/FPGA/ZSE Xeon Emulation models, conducting functional validation of reset flows involving firmware and software stacks. Personally identified and debugged RTL, BIOS, and ROM issues using lab tools. • Directly engaged with external customers on interop projects, enabling new security flows on Silicon and HAPS FPGAs. Used tools like PCIe Analyzer and Lauterbach Trace32 to resolve issues and successfully cut time-to-market by two quarters. • Executed the HAPS FPGA bring-up of Intel Data Center GPU SoC for AI and HPC applications, ensuring proper functionality and meeting performance benchmarks for US Federal Projects. • Developed and validated Server SoC HAPS FPGA prototypes focused on CXL/PCIe IP by handling timing constraints, synthesis, routing, and creating debug scripts for key interfaces like JTAG, PCIe, UART, I2C, SPI. • Designed and implemented a FPGA Cloud Usage that boosted scalability and model convergence by 25%, significantly improving adoption rates across customer platforms. • Actively performed synthetic validation of IPs such as Power Management, Secure Boot, and DMA before release, ensuring system stability and readiness for customer deployment. • Led a multi-disciplinary team of 10+ engineers and technicians, managing the transition to Xilinx HAPS FPGAs for critical SoC development. Coordinated hands-on integration tasks across geographies, ensuring alignment with SoC milestones. • Worked closely with program managers and device integration teams to drive milestones for DSPs, sensors, and RF systems, including use cases for 3G UMTS, 4G LTE, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth in complex embedded environments. • Chaired two cross-organizational forums, facilitating collaboration between teams (CAD, IPs, Validation, SW) and driving FPGA-based use cases and validation flows, with 15+ active participants from different departments • Consistently recognized as a top performer, receiving multiple divisional and cross-department awards

Jan. 2016 - Dec. 2017California, United States• Led a task-force of 4 engineers in the hands-on development of accelerator IP targeting Big Data workloads on Data Center products. This involved implementing the Xeon+FPGA flow, where I personally oversaw the simulation and bring-up of custom IP cores for cloud deployment at a leading CSP customer. • Directly collaborated with the Data Center team to optimize platform acceleration for Big Data, focusing on improving system throughput and performance for real-time analytics. • Co-developed a Gzip compression IP as a hardware accelerator, actively involved in RTL simulation, debugging, and FPGA validation. This IP was successfully deployed by a major CSP to enhance data compression and processing efficiency. • Executed hands-on RTL simulation and FPGA bring-up for a Java Byte-code Processor, designed specifically for Big Data applications. This included managing the end-to-end development of the processor, validating its integration into the FPGA-based environment to accelerate data center workloads.
