Hi, I’m
Anirban Dam.
A VLSI & Emulation Engineer by profession and robotics hobbyist by passion. I design hardware flows, automate chip design methodology, and share what I learn across code, circuits, and content.
Building with Purpose
Most breakthroughs don’t happen in perfect tutorials, they happen in messy notebooks, broken scripts and 2AM bugs. Engineering is more than just solving problems. It’s about asking better questions, building systems that scale, and sharing what you learn along the way.
This site is part portfolio, part open notebook — to connect reflections, thoughts and people.
Whether I am automating chip design flows, building robotics projects, or deep diving into tools — I try to follow this: Learn deeply, simplify clearly and share generously.
If you are someone who builds, explores, or just thinks out loud — you might find something worth bookmarking.
Working Process
Spark
An idea strikes — maybe from a bug, a book, or a caffeine high.
Dive
Skim the docs. Read papers. Open 10 browser tabs. Pretend it’s productive.
Build Ugly
Proof-of-concept time. Write code, test flows, sketch things out. Looks messy? Good. It’s working.
Break & Debug
Things fall apart — and that’s the plan. Break it to remake it better.
Iterate
Fix. Tweak. Rebuild. Repeat. This loop is where compounding kicks in.
Share, Archive or Ship
Write. Blog. Explain. Save for later or push it out to the world — either way, it’s another brick in the wall.
