Hi! I'm Nathan Kim, an engineer specializing in digital and analog circuit design with a focus on RTL development and system-level methodologies. I'm currently working on projects that relate to building computing architectures, high-speed digital design, and SoC verification.

I aim to design high-performance ASIC and digital hardware systems that drive faster, more efficient computations.

Portfolio

Welcome to my portfolio! My projects include FPGA design, ASIC verification, and mixed-signal circuits.

Moving Average Filter

Moving Average Filter

Comparing and contrasting performance and computational complexity of moving average filter implementations.

Microprocessor Project

Optimizing a RISC Microprocessor in VHDL

Designed and implemented a microprocessor using VHDL, complete with a simple instruction set and memory mapping, then made optimizations in both hardware and software.

Floating Point ADC

Floating Point ADC

Built a current-mode ADC with a floating-point output using translinear principles to achieve wide dynamic range for audio/biomedical signals.

Radio Receiver

Designed and built an analog AM radio receiver with stages including an RLC tuner, amplifiers, and an AM demodulator.

About Me

I am an Electrical Engineer with a strong foundation in both digital and analog design. My experience spans a wide range of disciplines, from firmware development and hardware-software co-design to analog circuit design. I specialize in creating efficient algorithms, implementing RTL designs using VHDL and Verilog, and optimizing signal processing techniques for embedded systems. My digital experience includes designing custom microprocessors and developing high-performance firmware solutions.

On the analog side, I have hands-on experience designing radio receivers, AM demodulators, amplifiers, and advanced filtering circuits, including speaker crossover networks. My work has allowed me to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation, whether it’s debugging low-level firmware or crafting high-performance analog circuits.

At this stage in my career, I see myself as a versatile engineer with a passion for both analog and digital design. Whether it's tackling complex challenges in mixed-signal systems or focusing on purely digital or analog solutions, I am open to exploring opportunities that allow me to grow and contribute meaningfully. I thrive in environments that demand attention to detail, innovative problem-solving, and a balance between hardware and software.
