RTL reference modeling for Pre-Silicon Verification. Focused on GPU/SIMD architecture.Primary Tools: C++, Python, SystemVerilog, and a whiteboard.

- Responsible for Design Verification of new IP that dramatically improves power, area and hardware utilization of the future chip aimed at accelerating Deep Learning operations. - In a joint effort with an RTL designer, reached 100% line coverage with 100% tests passing of the new IP block in nightly regressions by writing directed tests and improving.

- Used SystemVerilog to learn and improve on the structure of an existing hardware IP.- Debugged hardware code errors marked by Synopsys Spyglass.

I helped run the embedded labs with a small team of TAs. The course taught students about programming embedded software and hardware in a Linux environment. We used a Zedboard for programming in C++ and designed hardware on the board's FPGA with Matlab Simulink. The class had two design projects that enabled a robotic arm to pick and place objects.

- Research and development in controls, estimation, learning, and autonomy.- Used Python and OpenAI Gym to develop a defense-related multi-agent reinforcement learning simulation environment.- Assisted a small group with C++ programming for a game theoretic scenario.

- Summer intern. Assisted in user documentation, requirements traceability, and shell scripting with Bash.
