Final-year CSE student at RUET, Bangladesh. Champion at VLSITHON 2024, IBM Qiskit Excellence awardee. Passionate about building hardware from the ground up — from RTL to GDSII.
I am Shahriar Rizvi, a final-year Computer Science & Engineering student at Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET), Bangladesh, maintaining a CGPA of 3.90/4.00. My passion lies at the intersection of hardware and computing — designing processors from scratch, exploring quantum algorithms, and building robust network architectures.
My work spans RTL design using Verilog and SystemVerilog, where I am currently designing a full RISC-V CPU from RTL all the way to GDSII tape-out. I am simultaneously developing an AI-powered attendance system and have a strong track record in competitive programming and mathematical olympiads.
I earned the IBM Qiskit Excellence badge at the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, and was Champion at VLSITHON 2024 in the RTL Section. I serve as Campus Ambassador for ULKASEMI Private LTD and ICSC, bridging academia and industry. In 2025, my startup received first prize and funding from the University Innovation Hub Program (UIHP).
Currently exploring opportunities for graduate study (MS/PhD) in VLSI, quantum computing, and computer architecture at leading US universities for Fall 2026–2027.
Designing a full RISC-V architecture processor from scratch using SystemVerilog — Memory, ALU, and Control Unit at RTL level, targeting GDSII tape-out. Future plans include a custom OS and compiler on the silicon.
