About Me

Born in Poland in 1995, grew up in Luxembourg from the age of 12, and then moved in 2014 - this time to the UK, where I studied Electronic and Information Engineering at Imperial College London. I've been working as a Design Verification Engineer since September 2018.

Previously I've also been an intern at Imagination Technologies' MIPS HW division (twice), doing a bit of everything in processor design and testing. I went to college primarily to learn about computer architecture, and I am putting it to good use.

In my free time, when I'm not playing with computers that is, I enjoy photography, I love cars, and I have been intp aviation for a very long time. I also study languages, I speak fluent Polish and English, a good level of French, basic German and Luxembourgish. I've been learning Japanese for 3 years now, which I enjoy a lot, and will carry on learning in future.

People sometimes tell me I seem to interested in everything, which probably is the best way to describe me.

Education

Imperial College London

MEng in Electronic and Information Engineering (4 years)• October 2014 - Present

EIE is a joint degree between Electronic Engineering and Computing. It is a mix between software and hardware related subjects.

Modules included, among others:

  • Computer Architecture (ARM and MIPS ISAs and assembly)
  • Language Processors (Flex, Bison, Regex and lots of theory)
  • Software Engneering I and II (C/C++ with OOP)
  • High Level Programming (F#, monad theory)
  • Embedded Systems (ARM mbed)
  • Robotics (project incl. Rasbperry Pi)
  • Databases and Advanced Databases (PostgreSQL, Datalog)
  • Networks and Distributed Systems
  • Concurrency (modelling, Java multithreading)

European School of Luxembourg I

Secondary Education - European Baccalaureate• 2007 - 2014

Overall score - 90%.
European schools are an incredibly multi-national environment, with students from all around Europe studying in different language sections. The subjects I chose for my final exams were:

  • Mathematics (extended)
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Polish
  • English
  • French

Work

GPU Design Verification Engineer• October 2018 - Present

My team is tasked with verification of GPUs (and the various building blocks that make them up), mostly through simulations and UVM.

Imagination Technologies

Industrial Placement - Hardware Design Engineer• April - September 2017

This time around, I started off with more formal verification - but this time model based. Later I was running X-Prop simulations, followed by designing bits of RTL to do with power control.

Imagination Technologies

Summer Placement - Hardware Design Engineer• July - September 2016

This placement mostly revolved around formal verification. I was tasked with writing a Python script which would act as a wrapper for the verification flow. Afterwards I was using my own flow to verify various modules using assertion based formal verification.
