Scaling success
I tried to present the similarity of the chip design verification process to the world of drama, in order to highlight that underneath all the grunt technical work, engineering is fun and interesting. I got very good comments from experts in the EDA industry and they encouraged me to continue writing.I want to encourage youngsters to take up the engineering profession, but I do not want to appear like I am lecturing them. I want the whole process to be fun and cool and related to activities in every day life.More details on my blogs and how they happened can be read in the Mercury News Article, written by a senior and very highly respected technology columnist.
Working differently
I always write on what I strongly feel is the right thing to do.
Upcoming Trends
I am watching for innovation and path breaking progress in VLSI engineering simplifying technology and enriching our lives.
Advice form my end
Write from the bottom of your heart on issues that you are passionate about.
I strongly recommend
We will always need good engineers in all areas of the VLSI industry. They must have the passion to excel.
Certification that can help
I have always been active in leadership clubs, such as DECA (Distributive Clubs of America) where I am currently the president, and FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) where I have won a state level championship.
