About

Building practical hardware-software systems for real-world impact.

I am Bhavinkumar Umatiya, an Electronics and Communication Engineering student focused on VLSI design, RTL verification, embedded systems, and FPGA design. I enjoy building practical systems that move from idea to implementation, combining UVM verification, RTL design, microcontroller development, and data-driven tools.

Currently interning at Oizom Instruments as an R&D Hardware Intern. My recent work includes UVM-based asynchronous FIFO verification, pipelined CPU design, secure bootloader development on STM32, and AI-assisted hardware co-design workflows. I am also exploring neuromorphic SNN accelerator design on FPGA.

Current Focus

Neuromorphic Computing

FPGA hardware acceleration for brain-inspired computing and efficient digital realization.

Digital Hardware

Verilog, FPGA prototyping, simulation flows, CPU design, and architecture-to-implementation thinking.

Embedded Intelligence

Sensor-driven systems, control logic, board-level experimentation, and hardware-aware optimization.

Hardware Verification

UVM testbenches, assertions, coverage-driven verification, and robust functional validation pipelines.
