Pulastya Mishra Sir, attending your VLSI Roadmap session was a wonderful experience. Your friendly and approachable way of explaining complex concepts created a true sense of brotherhood and mentorship. The session was insightful, motivating, and gave me a clear direction toward Design Verification. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and inspiring aspiring engineers like me.
As a Senior Design Verification Engineer at AMD, I work on verifying chips IPs/Sub-System/SoCs using SystemVerilog, UVM, and Agentic AI framework. My day-to-day involves building verification environments from scratch, writing test cases and assertions, closing functional/code coverage, and working closely with RTL designers to debug and root-cause issues before tapeout. I've worked across PCIe Gen1 - Gen6, AXI, AHB, I2C, SPI] and have hands-on experience taking blocks from test plan to coverage closure.
Beyond the day job, I'm genuinely invested in helping people break into this field — I remember how confusing it was to figure out "VLSI" as a career path with almost no structured guidance available, and I want to be the mentor I wish I'd had.

🔧 Why Connect with Me?
Been through it myself: I went through the same confusion, interviews, and rejections you might be facing now — and I know what actually works versus what's just noise.
1:1, no-fluff guidance: Book a session for honest advice on breaking into VLSI/DV, mock interviews, resume fixes, LinkedIn optimization, or hands-on project help — whatever stage you're at.
For freshers and professionals alike: Whether you're trying to land your first role or move up from where you are, I'll tailor the conversation to where you actually are, not a generic script.
