Projects / Selected explorations

From design questions to working systems.

These project pages start with the themes I’m working on. I’ll expand each with verified implementation details, artifacts, and results as the write-ups are ready.

EDA · Workflow 01

Vertex EDA

An exploration of EDA workflow optimization: making design steps easier to inspect, repeat, and improve.

Project write-ups

A more detailed record.

The sections below are structured as a home for case studies. Replace these starter summaries with the exact scope and evidence you want to publish.

01 / EDA · workflow

Case study in progress

Vertex EDA

A project area centered on EDA optimization. A complete write-up can describe the design-flow problem, the tools and scripts involved, how changes were evaluated, and what was learned. Specific metrics and tool versions can be added once confirmed.

02 / Digital logic · FPGA

Case study in progress

FPGA Systems

A place to document hardware architecture, RTL structure, verification strategy, and the FPGA platform used. The published case study should distinguish measured results from design goals.

03 / DSP · signal processing

Case study in progress

FFT / FIR Laboratory

An exploration of spectral analysis and finite impulse response filters. Future notes can include the signal model, coefficient choices, fixed-point considerations, and comparisons against a reference implementation.
