About Manish Kumar

Hi, I’m Manish Kumar, a VLSI Engineer passionate about FPGA/RTL Design, Verification, and Digital Design. My career journey has been shaped by curiosity, strong academic grounding, and hands-on projects that bridge theory with real-world implementation. Academic FoundationI hold an M.Sc. Tech in Electronics (2021–2024) from NIT Warangal, where I gained a strong base in:Core Subjects: Digital & Analog Electronics, Microprocessor (8086), Microcontroller (8051), VLSI Design.Languages: Verilog, SystemVerilog, C++, SVA, TCL scripting.Tools: Xilinx Vivado, EDA Playground, Tanner EDA, LTSpice, Arduino, emu8086.Protocols: SPI, I²C, UART, APB, AHB.This combination of hardware, software, and design tools prepared me for end-to-end FPGA/ASIC workflows—from coding RTL to verification and optimization. Key Projects (Explained in Points)1. Vedic Multiplier Implemented a high-performance multiplier based on Vedic Math principles. Tools: Verilog, Xilinx Vivado. Target: Artix-7 FPGA board. Outcomes: Faster computation, reduced hardware complexity, verified through simulation and FPGA implementation.2. Verification of EEPROM using I²C Built an EEPROM verification environment using SystemVerilog. Designed I²C protocol interface requiring only SDA & SCL. Demonstrated scalability to 128 devices. Implementation tested on EDA Playground & Xilinx Vivado.3. Sequence Detector (1011) using Moore & Mealy FSMs Designed FSMs for overlapping & non-overlapping sequence detection. Verified using waveforms generated in Vivado. Applications: error detection, DSP, control systems, security systems. Career Vision I aim to contribute to: FPGA-based system design (signal/image processing, embedded applications). ASIC/SoC Verification using SystemVerilog/UVM. EDA automation & HLS-based design flows.Long term, I see myself growing into a Technical Lead/Architect, designing efficient and impactful digital systems.“I look forward to contributing my skills in VLSI Design (Digital Design, FPGA/RTL design and verification) to innovative teams, while continuously growing as a professional and creating hardware solutions that truly make an impact.”
