As a Teaching Assistant and Lab Developer for Kazakhstan’s first hardware design course, I was responsible for mentoring students, developing lab materials, and creating verification frameworks to enhance the learning experience.

Key Responsibilities & Achievements

• Mentorship: Supported a cohort of 18 students in successfully completing their processor design projects. I mentored over 20 students in weekly Q&A sessions, helping them with RTL debugging and reducing their average troubleshooting time.
• Lab Development: Designed and developed two hands-on lab modules (UART and Load-Store Unit) for the DE1-SoC FPGA, providing practical experience in hardware implementation.
• Framework Creation: Built a cocotb-based verification framework for Tiny Tapeout submissions, which streamlined the testing process and reduced the student onboarding time by 70%.
