Work Experience

Arm Ltd

Cambridge, United Kingdom


Graduate Verification Engineer

August 2021 - Present


  • Collaborated between graduates & engineers on significant projects within rotational teams, including implementation of a novel method to verify results of various protocol checkers, data transfers, and mass regressions - utilised in the latest releases of functional safety-compliant interrupt controllers.
  • Implemented a framework using machine learning models to reduce number of seeds required to achieve the same regression coverage, and automated the pipeline for various testplans.

ISP Verification Intern

June 2020 - September 2020


  • Collaborated with an external division within Arm to obtain metric processing scripts on Python, and developed a database system to store parsed information, with scalability & user experience considered.

University of Bristol

Bristol, United Kingdom


SCEEM OutReach Ambassador

November 2019 - Present


  • Taught children & young adults of useful engineering concepts & disciplines, and hosted multiple workshops on STEM-related skills & subjects at school visits & science centres (including programming, electronics, and circuitry).

CitiBlox Ltd

Bristol, United Kingdom


Leader of Electronics Division

October 2018 - October 2019


  • Organised sub-teams for different projects & assigned their team leaders & tasks, in liaison with the leaders of other divisions, organised meetings, and undertook executive decisions regarding prototyping and development cycles.

Skills & Proficiencies

Technical Skillsets

  • Experienced with FPGA & embedded SoC development with V/SV/UVM/VHDL/C/C++ utilising ModelSim & Xilinx ISE
  • Adept in object-oriented programming concepts, general data structures & algorithms, version control with Git, CRUD systems, and web/software development in HTML/CSS, Python/JavaScript, and MATLAB
  • Capable with advanced electronics concepts, circuitries & operations, including System-on-Chip & bridge design, digital & analogue circuit design, and able in communication system concepts (including mobile) and network principles
  • Previous experiences with microcontrollers and its languages in personal, internship & university-related projects, i.e. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, TI LaunchPad

Problem Solving & Creativity

  • Developed a set of prototype methods for collecting coverage data from functional verification & image quality metrics given top-level specifications with Python & SV as part of my Arm internship scheme, and designed database methods for storing & querying the collected information.
  • Designing & fabricating a Rubik’s Cube puzzle-solving robot from minimal requirements, with concerns to resource efficiency, performance, design choices, longetivity, and output verification.
  • Designed a PNM to PGM conversion (and vice versa) in C & an FPGA byte generator/detector in VHDL from minimal specifications, and programmed a disease/population analysis program in Python.
  • Designed & successfully operated an ultrasonic transducer circuit with minimal specifications.

Proactivity & Preparedness

  • Studied & practised OpenCV and additional Python-based modules prior to beginning the Rubik’s Cube Solving Robot project in Week 2 of studies.
  • Took executive decisions regarding CitiBlox’s prototyping & equipment-handling situations, in addition to interpersonal issues amongst the Electronics Team.
  • Undertook 3D-printing, CAD modelling, and laser-cutting inductions prior to CitiBlox’s electronics division leader role.
  • Applied Git version control to our FPGA Digital Design & Embedded SoC Design Group Projects, and updated the repository daily. Backups are readily available & restored during occasional incidents, resulting in minimal work lost.

Communication & Collaboration

  • Presented my Arm internship’s project proposal to members within Functional Verification team. Organised project scope, approaches, and results into concise presentation topics.
  • Developed communication skills & techniques essential to explaining difficult engineering concepts for children & students in the OutReach programme, including learning & understanding each individual’s needs.
  • Formulated a detailed analysis & reflective report for both of my programming projects, and presented my results & reflections in a 1-to-1 interview.

Teamwork & Leadership

  • Leader of the Electronics Division of CitiBlox. Organised multiple team meetings with fellow team members, liaised with our sub-teams and other divisions, and arranged necessary equipment & purchases necessary for prototyping.
  • Spearheaded & organised a team of 5 members to program & synthesise an Artix-7 FPGA board in order to formulate a data generator & peak detector (given the byte-stream from the former); achieved 80% overall.
  • Deputy leader of my Professional Engineering group project. Organised group meetings & pre-arranged notes, discussion topics, and prerequisites amongst team members. Assigned tasks of the project’s report write-up to each individual team member to complete.

Extra-Curricular & Achievement

Mathematics & Computer Science Tutor

Coronavirus Tutoring Initiative (Remote) June 2020 - July 2020

  • Developed strategic methods in communication techniques & interests that would allow each individual tutee to approach problems in their own way, bringing their problem-solving skills & finesse to the forefront.

Bristol PLUS Awards

Bristol, United Kingdom November 2019

  • Awarded to students demonstrating interpersonal competencies & adaptability via experiences & commitment.
  • Allowed personal reflection on improving my time allocation & task prioritisation skills, in addition to being more conscious of the global citizenship & interconnectedness of individuals.
