Testimonials
I worked closely with Javed while at Cointerra, and it was a pleasure. Javed is very sharp and has a deep, detailed understanding of chip development. He is also driven to learn more and expand the boundaries of his knowledge. I hope to work with him again in the future.
I have had the pleasure of working with Javed over the past year at Cointerra. He designed and implemented the high speed custom digital logic core running at GHz+ frequencies. His execution of the design flows, beginning from RTL, synthesis, timing closure, through verification, shows his vast experience. His diligence and expertise in fine tuning designs to reduce power and area and solving design issues is commendable. He is extremely dedicated engineer and would I certainly recommend him.
Javed was a highly efficient and effective contributor to Cointerra’s family of Bitcoin protocol ICs.He architected, implemented and verified key portions of the design on an aggressive schedule. I very much enjoyed our technical discussions and am grateful for his willingness to do whatever tasks were necessary to complete this successful program. I highly recommend Javed and would be privileged to work with him again.
