Welcome to SiliconCrafters.com.

​

I am a VLSI Design Engineer and I have created this website to share my journey and my experience in this field.

I have always been fascinated about electronics. I loved playing with LEDs when I was in school. While doing my Bachelor’s, I got deep into the world of microcontrollers and when I felt confident enough, I started my YouTube channel to share my knowledge, where I made a DIY kind of videos. You can check them out here. Whiled doing Master’s, my focus shifted to VLSI, and I decided that this is the field in which I want to pursue my career, so here we are!

​

As a VLSI engineer, I feel like we do not have enough high-quality resources to help upgrade the skills required in this industry when compared to the software, and majority of the resources available focuses on verification and back-end part of VLSI. I am trying to change that. My focus is to make a one-stop website for the VLSI Design Interview preparation. I may write articles about other domains also, if and when I feel like it. I will not try to reinvent the wheel by explaining something that is already explained in a better way by someone else. Instead, I will share the links for those articles and then add my thoughts on top of it.

Questions are a big part of the interview preparation. I will try to add as much questions as I can for any specific topic. I have scoured the internet to find these questions. I will also share the questions which were asked to me in my interviews.

​

The contents in this website is aimed to help people with all experience levels. It does not matter whether you are a recent college graduate or have 10 years of experience. Even if you know everything, this website can help you revise the concepts and be prepared for your interview in no time.

​

I could have made video tutorials instead of the website and uploaded it on my YouTube channel, but I decided not to do that for various reasons. First and foremost, the production cost is too high for a YouTube video. Not in terms of money, but in terms of time invested in a single video. Setting up camera to capture every shot correctly and then editing it takes a lot of time. Also, I prefer reading over watching a video to learn something, especially in the case of VLSI. I can share much more knowledge in a piece of text than I could have done in a video. And the most important reason: I can do this anywhere. I don’t need a studio of any sort, not that I have a very high-end studio, but still ;).

​

That said, I should clarify I am no industry veteran by any means, and I can make mistakes. I am just getting started in this field and I will keep improving my articles. If you find any mistake in my articles, kindly reach out to me and I will fix it in no time. Rather than sharing wrong information, I prefer to share no information at all.

​

I literally feel like VLSI is magic. Who would have thought we can do the things with sand that we are doing right now, and it is no secret that a transistor is one of the inventions that changed the world. With this enthusiasm, let's get on to expanding our knowledge!
