  10. May 2026 - Sep 2026Experience

    IC Verification Intern

    Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.

    Collaborated on UVM-based functional verification and regression workflows using vManager, supporting 100+ regression runs in a Linux verification environment.

    1. 01Leveraged AI tools to accelerate regression analysis, debugging, verification reporting, and license optimisation, reducing manual effort by 25-30% across large-scale workflows.
    2. 02Analysed regression, coverage, and traceability reports to identify verification gaps, improve functional coverage by approximately 10-15%, uncover missing test scenarios, and generate tailored reports for 3+ engineering disciplines.
    3. 03Supported day-to-day regression health in a Linux verification environment by tracking failing runs, monitoring tool and license usage, and turning verification outputs into actionable updates for cross-functional engineering teams.

  2. 02AI-powered study platformApr 2026 - Present

    StudyForge

    Developed an AI-powered study platform that turns uploaded PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown files into flashcards, MCQs, true/false questions, fill-in-the-blanks, key concepts, summaries, and an AI tutor chat experience.

    Combined local document processing, persistent progress tracking, and AI-assisted revision into one cohesive study workflow across desktop and mobile.

    Next.js / React / TypeScript / SQLite / OpenRouter

    GitHub
  3. 03Applied machine learning research pipelineOct 2025 - Jan 2026

    S&P 500 Quant Trading Pipeline

    Built a reproducible ML pipeline to forecast returns across 500+ large-cap equities with 20+ technical indicators and 60-day rolling windows.

    Reached 55.7% directional accuracy and outperformed buy-and-hold in sample AAPL backtests over the same evaluation horizon.
