From Verilog to SystemVerilog: A Practical Transition Guide
What I learned moving from basic Verilog to SystemVerilog — always_ff vs always_comb, interfaces, SVA assertions, and why it matters for modern design verification workflows.
Read More→Building a Synchronous FIFO: From RTL to FPGA Verification
A deep dive into designing, simulating, and hardware-verifying an 8-bit FIFO on Spartan-6 — signal debouncing, power-on reset, directed testbenches, and lessons learned.
Read More→Building a Bare-Metal Audio Spectrum Analyzer on STM32
How I built an 8-band real-time spectrum visualizer from scratch — I2S microphone, CMSIS-DSP FFT, AGC, and SSD1306 OLED rendering at 24 FPS on a $5 microcontroller.

“Kushal shows exceptional depth in digital design — his FIFO buffer implementation on Spartan-6 and FSM verification work demonstrate an understanding of RTL methodology well beyond his academic level. A strong candidate for VLSI design roles.”
