  Practiced full-custom and semi-custom IC design flows, including schematic capture, DRC verification, parasitic extraction, and logic synthesis.

• SwarmShield – Edge AI Framework for Industrial Systems
  Python, TensorFlow Lite, TinyML

  Designed a modular edge AI pipeline for industrial sensor monitoring, built a TensorFlow Lite inference engine, developed a risk assessment and decision engine, and created an interactive dashboard for live plots and event logging.

• Agritrix – Food Freshness Detection System
  ESP32, Python, TinyML

  Interfaced an ESP32 with gas sensors and a camera module to classify food freshness, with a web interface for live readings and predictions.
