Work Experience

  1. Intel Technologies — All-Cores-Engineering (ACE)

    Jul 2024 — Present
    E-Core Design Verification Engineer
    • Fuzz randomized x86 assembly instruction streams against E-core RTL to validate CPU design integrity.
    • Bug triage and root-cause analysis across tool failures, simulation errors, environment issues, and critical design flaws.
    • Apply x86 ISA + microarchitecture expertise to isolate failure points in instruction execution flows; spanning across the entire x86 architecture such as FRED, AVX10, Dynamic Lockstep, patchload, and other legacy features.
    • Deep familiarity with E-core clusters (FEC, ARR, IEC, FPC, MEC) through debugging experience.
    • Maintain validation environment infrastructure; participate in power-ons for several next-gen products cross-site.
    • Individual Side Project — Molecule↗ blog
      • Tauri + React + Rust desktop tool that replaces file-based DV workflows with a session-managed UI.
      • Session manager launches apps, preserves state, prevents duplicate instances via window refocus.
      • IPC between Rust and IPython using enums + state machines + mpsc::channel for thread-safe, non-blocking message passing.
      • File tagging system in Rust + sqlx + SQLite with many-to-many file↔tag relationships for traceability.
      • Custom Rust cache layer + extensive React memoization to minimize refetches and re-renders.
      • Native Windows integration via the windows Rust crate for a lightweight, performant desktop experience.
