Engineer : Dhruv Mittal
Degree : B.Tech Electrical Engineering [Year 3]
Origin : India 🇮🇳
Core :
├─ Computer Architecture → pipelines, memory hierarchy, ISA design
├─ Hardware Accelerators → efficient HW for transformer attention
├─ RTL / Digital Design → Verilog, SystemVerilog, synthesis
└─ Systems Foundations → digital logic, signals & systems
Interest : Making attention mechanisms cheaper to compute in silicon
Stage : Undergrad, coursework + independent projects in progress
Goal : Research experience in VLSI / computer architecture labsHardware & RTL
Foundations
Toolchain
| Area | What I'm Exploring |
|---|---|
| 🧮 Hardware Accelerators | Architectures for accelerating transformer attention computation — the core focus of my current independent work |
| 🏗️ Computer Architecture | Pipelining, memory hierarchy, and ISA-level design tradeoffs from coursework and self-study |
| 🔲 RTL / Digital Design | Implementing and simulating digital logic in Verilog/SystemVerilog, synthesis flows in Vivado |
| ⚡ Efficient AI Hardware | Reading up on how ML workloads map to hardware — where the bottlenecks are and how custom datapaths help |
📌 I'm currently building projects in this space — repos and writeups will be added here as they're completed, not before. No vaporware.
