About

I’m a semiconductor engineer with a proven track record in yield analysis and failure isolation, honed during my tenure at GlobalFoundries. My core strength lies in transforming complex test data into clear, actionable insights—driving root cause investigations, optimizing process flows, and delivering customer-facing reports that bridge engineering depth with clarity. Now, I’m expanding my scope to explore physical design and analog design, bringing the same analytical rigor and cross-functional mindset to new challenges in silicon design and debug. Whether it’s isolating a yield-limiting defect or navigating the intricacies of layout and circuit behavior, I approach every problem with curiosity, precision, and a collaborative spirit. I also bring a unique edge: the ability to communicate technical complexity through visual storytelling —a skill I’ve used to connect with customers, cross-functional teams, and broader communities. I’m actively seeking new opportunities in DFT, yield, physical, or analog design roles, where I can contribute to innovation, quality, and meaningful impact.Apart from Semiconductors I have hands on experience on Power apps and Sharepoint. Let’s connect if you’re looking for an engineer who sees both the signal and the soul in semiconductor systems backed by coding knowledge.
