• Undergone industry-oriented training in SystemVerilog and UVM-based functional verification following front-end ASIC verification flows. • Built reusable UVM testbenches, including sequencer, driver, monitor, scoreboard, and coverage components. • Performed UVM-based verification of an AXI to AHB Bridge IP, where the RTL (DUT) was provided and I owned the verification responsibility. • Verified AXI/AHB protocol compliance, including handshaking, burst transactions, reset behavior, and corner cases using constrained-random testing. • Implemented SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and functional coverage (covergroups & coverpoints) to support verification closure. • Used Synopsys VCS, Questa, and DC Shell for simulation, debugging, and verification analysis. • Focused on identifying functional and protocol-level bugs and improving overall test coverage.

• Gained industry-oriented exposure to VLSI fundamentals, including digital design concepts, RTL design basics, and verification workflows. • Introduced to Verilog/SystemVerilog, simulation flow, and the role of verification in ASIC development. • Learned the end-to-end VLSI design cycle, from specification understanding to design, verification, and tape-out overview. • Observed and understood RTL coding standards, debugging practices, and waveform-based analysis. • Developed foundational understanding of ASIC vs FPGA flows, synthesis, and verification methodologies. • Strengthened interest in VLSI and functional verification, which later led to advanced UVM-focused training
