About

I am an electronics engineer. I currently work at Mediatek Wireless in the UK as a Senior Staff RFIC Design Engineer. I have been here for more than four years working on cellular RFIC projects. To be honest, it has been fun few years working with some very smart people and solving problems.

I worked at Analog Devices, Ireland as an IC design engineer for a while. I worked on mmwave buffers at 80GHz and 40GHz for automotive radar for the first six months. Then they shut down the project and I was shuttled to something I was not really interested in. I had enough and decided to leave and moved to England to join Mediatek.

I worked with Cadence Design Systems in their IPG group from 2014-2017, developing phase locked loops for their SerDes.

I am particularly fond of analog and mixed signal design.

I like reading, and I used to read a lot [back when I was in my undergraduate university, where the academic load wasn’t much, and I could easily sail through with a couple of hours of studying every day]. Among the genres of books that are closest to my heart, fiction tops the list. Followed by biographies. I have a few books on ‘essays’. I particularly liked Amartya Sen’s ‘Argumentative Indian’ and Amitav Ghosh’s collection of essays on climate change.

I am from Kolkata, a rapidly expanding metro of India. I moved to Bangalore in 2014 for my job. I completed my masters in Electrical Engineering from KU Leuven with a Magna cum laude in 2019. I moved to Ireland to join Analog Devices in Limerick. And then I moved to England, first to Maidstone, Kent and then to Milton Keynes, <<county name not necessary!>>. I really like the city and strongly believe in its potential.
