Managing applications/ systems for TI's Audio ADCs, Codecs, and Voice Recognition products.

- Expert in mixed signal system & circuit design with particular focus on energy efficient, high performance signal chains and platforms for medical/ industrial applications.- Leveraging technical expertise to architect TI’s AFE44xx and AFE49xx series of multi-modal bio-monitoring solutions that achieve wide dynamic range while operating from state-of-the art low power.- Driving key customer engagement & product definition for low-energy medical sensing & authentication products. - Led a cross functional team of analog, digital and layout engineers through IC architecture, mixed-signal design/verification and test development. - Cross-functional engagement with finance and packaging vendors to ensure volume production and cost reduction.

- Chip Owner, responsible for leading IC architecture and HW development of a smart multi-modal analog front-end (AFE) SoC targeting energy-constrained, portable, medical and industrial sensing applications.- This work was featured in the 2016 VLSI Circuits Symposium press-kit & invited for publication to the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits.- Lead a team of 2 system/ apps engineers, 4 design engineers, 4 layout contractors through design cycle.

- Design Lead on multiple custom IC’s for MEMS automotive sensors including pressure, temperature, multi-axis accelerometers & gyroscopes for hydraulic braking systems, stability control and occupant weight sensors.- Design of a ΣΔ based temperature sensor and 12-bit current steering DAC in 0.25μm CMOS for a MEMS gyroscope interface IC used in stability control applications.

- Designed electro-mechanical systems and mixed signal interface IC’s for control of navigation-grade MEMS microgyros for DARPA’s HERMIT program. - Invented mode-matching scheme that exploited inherent quadrature error in tuning-fork gyroscopes to leverage high-Q and achieve sub 1°/hr bias instability as well as bandwidth control (US Patent 8,061,201).

Design of a low-power band-gap current reference for implantable pace makers in 0.5μm CMOS.

130nm DRAM sense amplifier layout optimization.

Helped write microprocessor code for radars.
