MICROKID

    Hi! I’m Gurucharan Shivakumar

    Engineer by mindset. Builder by habit.

    I am an engineering graduate student with a Master’s degree in VLSI Design.

    I enjoy working in bare metal — whether it’s designing digital systems, writing efficient code, or bringing ideas to life on real hardware. Most of my projects are based on VLSI, embedded systems, and software tooling.

    What I’m Currently Focused On

    • Digital Design & Verification (SystemVerilog, UVM)
    • FPGA-based system development
    • RISC-V and custom processor workflows
    • Hardware–Software co-design

    Tech Stack

    Hardware & HDL

    • Verilog / SystemVerilog
    • FPGA Development (Vivado, LiteX)
    • Digital Architecture
    • Processor Design

    Programming

    • Python
    • C/C++
    • Rust (exploring)
    • Shell scripting

    Embedded
