Dear Prospective Employer, 

I am a Graduate student in Computer Engineering at Villanova University, PA.
During my graduate studies I developed keen interest in the areas of CAD and 
VLSI hardware design. My enclosed resume provides an overview of my 
technical expertise and educational background.             

My seven years of successful educational background as an Electronics and 
Computer Engineering student with a homogeneous blend of hardware and 
software courses gives me an unique edge in dealing effectively with a wide
range of responsibilities. It also helps me to learn adapt quickly to new 
technologies and tools. I have gained deep insight into areas like CAD and 
VLSI hardware design, microprocessor systems, assembly language programming
and programming in Unix and C which my resume appropriately reflects.

As a hardware engineer I have handled several large hardware projects. The 
work involved in last two semesters at Villanova University has allowed me
to sharpen my previously gained skills. I designed and implemented (in M 
language) a processor based on 32-bit DLX machine in Advanced Computer 
Architecture course. This included study of performance enhancement of the 
above processor with introduction of various cache memories in mixed mode 
simulation using LSIM. Consequently I did the layout of the same (a pipelined
version and datapath implemented at transistor level) in my VLSI design 
course using CAD tools (GDT of Mentor Graphics). 

I have no restriction in preference of place and can relocate at ease. If you 
may like additional information, please call me at (215)-341-9361 or e_mail 
to ashok@vu-vlsi.ee.vill.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration and 
I look forward to hearing from you.


Sincerely,

Ashok Chinnagiri

B.S. in Electronics and Communications Engineering, 1989.
Bangalore University, Bangalore India

Projects	
--------
* Developed design, layout and simulation of fundamental digital circuits
  at behavioral, gate, device and layer levels using Mentor graphics GDT.
* CMOS VLSI design, Layout and simulation of a DLX pipelined machine. The
  datapath was implemented at transistor level. The final model was
  simulated using LSIM.

  along with memory (DRAM), instruction cache, data cache and branch target
  cache using GDT software and mixed mode simulation. The schematic was
  captured using SCHEM. 
* Interfacing MC 68824-TBC and MC 68681 - DUART for communication between
  different  stations (a microprocessor based version).
* Implemented file transfer and access protocol, a microprocessor based,
  using RS-232-C.
* Developed a program to simulate a first-in-first-out job processing 
  queue in C.
* Developed other application programs in C and number of UNIX shell script 
  programs as part of various course projects.

Independent Study	
-----------------
* Developed a class library in C++(OOP) for matrix manipulations and
  operations in polynomial equations.
