About

I'm the CEO and co-founder of ChipSage Labs. We're building the Agentic OS for chip design and verification: smart agents that work inside EDA workflows to debug RTL, generate testbenches, close timing, and prove every fix with an auditable trail. The goal is to compress chip design from months to weeks. Our MVP is deployed at 10+ research universities, we've collected 1M+ proprietary error data points, and we've raised $3M in grants from NSF, DARPA, and others.

I'm also finishing my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC San Diego, where I work in the ACES Lab with Prof. Farinaz Koushanfar. My research is on making privacy-preserving computation practical. That means designing hardware and protocols for zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), and secure multi-party computation that are fast enough to actually deploy. A lot of my work involves building FPGA implementations to show things work at scale, not just theoretically. Recent projects include the AMAZE and Gotta Hash 'Em All accelerators for ZKP, and the zPROBE and ZORRO systems for privacy and robustness in federated learning.
