at a prestigious in-house technical conference, enhancing the company's knowledge base.
Pre-Silicon Verification Engineer | INTEL CORPORATION Bangalore, India | May’21 – Oct’21
● Process Automation and Efficiency: Developed a software tool to automatically triage weekly
regressions and simulation failures, processing approximately 50 gigabytes of data per week; this resulted in
a 25% improvement in engineering productivity and a 30% reduction in debug time, shortening the product
development lifecycle by 15%; also enhanced user experience by refining user flows based on feedback
from over 50 user interviews and market analysis, expanding the user base from 12 to 110 in four months.
● Advanced Data Analysis and Cost Saving: Identified and addressed technical debt by automating the
analysis of waveform metadata from 3-4 terabytes of design data, which doubled testing efficiency and
increased feature coverage by 28%, saving $130K per development cycle; led a team of nine to oversee
coverage closure activities across IP, SS, and SoC scales, meeting over 10 functional safety standards for
automotive silicon products and achieving 100% reliability.
Senior Engineer | SAMSUNG SEMICONDUCTOR Bangalore, India & Seoul, Korea | Jun’19 – May’21
● Strategic Product Development and Cost Reduction: Identified critical inefficiencies leading to a $1.7M
excess expense in product engineering; led the development and global deployment of a novel software for
automatic verification infrastructure creation, reducing integration and testing cycle times by over 70 man-
hours and accelerating time-to-first-test by 60%, resulting in $4.5M annual savings and eliminating error
counts entirely. Facilitated a 4-member cross-cultural team in Seoul for comprehensive end-to-end testing
and lifecycle management, enhancing product adoption and prototype testing.
● User-Centric Design and Market Analysis: Conducted over 120 user interviews and comprehensive
market analysis to pinpoint essential product features, achieving 100% user adoption and an 80% increase
in user satisfaction; recognized with an appreciation award from the VP of Engineering.
● Innovation and Recognition: Authored and presented a white paper at the Samsung Global Engineering
Conference, which significantly raised the technical profile and influence of the group; received the 3rd prize
among 150+ entries, highlighting the innovative approach to semiconductor engineering.

2. ● Engineering Excellence and Problem Solving: Developed a test bench infrastructure that became a
new standard in memory product engineering at Samsung, adopted by 15+ global teams and contributed to
9% improvement in product quality; this supported three product developments each valued between $3-6B.
● Cross-Functional Collaboration and Impact: Led the development of the COSMIC unified simulation
infrastructure, adopted across eight teams and enhancing 15 EDA features, leading to significant cost
savings in product engineering and staff training, and markedly improving user satisfaction and customer
conversion rates; awarded Employee of the Month twice, distinguishing performance among over 700 peers.
