My engineering journey took off well with great support and mentorship from my professors to pursue the field of engineering that I'm passionate about (VLSI). From getting opportunities to learning when to not take the leap, I have had the chance to experience it all.

Words of Encouragement

As an engineering student, I learnt that, it is not your field of study that makes you a good engineer but how well you learn a new skill efficiently in a short time. Being open to diverse roles in a team and able to build solutions from scarce resources is valuable.
