Design Automation Engineer ยท Software Developer
I build and break things at the intersection of chips, code, and a home datacenter that has become my favorite playground.
I build design automation for chip tapeout โ Layout Verification flows (ICV / Calibre) and Structural Design Automation (FusionCompiler / Innovus) โ making physical verification and implementation faster, smarter, and more reliable.
My pride and joy. What started as "one box to run a media server" grew into 40+ self-hosted services and VMs on a single Proxmox VE server โ my own cloud, my own AI stack, my own CI/CD, my own email. No subscriptions, no other people's clouds, all mine. I break it, I fix it, and I learn something new every single week.
I design and print on a BambuLab A1 โ functional parts, enclosures, jigs, and whatever the next project calls for. It's where the digital side of my tinkering turns into something I can actually hold.
