I enjoy sports, especially [badminton](https://badmintonnederland.toernooi.nl/player-profile/e76309d9-12b4-403e-b57c-39765194dd04) and have an on-again, off-again relationship with running. I also play snooker and chess on the wonderful [Lichess](https://lichess.org/@/KaranJayachandra) platform. My taste in music is mostly rock, metal and hip-hop. I am a self-taught campfire guitarist but hope to ditch the campfire title. I read both fiction and non-fiction titles when time permits. Authors that I like include Stephen King, John Grisham and Brandon Sanderson.

-I am a [Tamilian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamils) born in Hyderabad and brought up in Kolar. I am naturally inquisitive, an unapologetic sceptic and have a thirst for knowledge. My Alma mater includes Amrita University and TU Delft from where I got my bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineer respectively. I have worked as an intern in the Deference Research and Development Organization of India and as a consultant for SAP. I am currently working on the next generation of Automotive Radar systems for Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Assist, Blind Spot Detection and Cross Traffic Alert at NXP Semiconductors.
+### NXP Semiconductors
+
+I am currently working on the next generation of Automotive Radar systems for Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Assist, Blind Spot Detection and Cross Traffic Alert at NXP Semiconductors. My work at NXP includes:
+
+- System Design: Development and integration of algorithms into a signal processing chain to
+estimate radar target parameters across 3 generations of radar systems. End-to-end testing of
+the developed system using cutting-edge lab equipment and validation of the performance in
+outdoor scenarios. I have developed and tested several sensors that utilize signal processing algorithms.
+- Algorithm Design: I have developed algorithms individually and collaboratively, resulting in
+one patent and paper. I have verified the performance statistically using both simulations and
+data capture from internally developed radar sensors. These algorithms have been used to
+provide feedback to internal designers on future generations of NXP chips.
+- Infrastructure Development: I have been in charge of both the development of simulation and
+lab environments for the test of signal processing algorithms across the Signal Processing
+team in NXP. In this role, I have helped speed up and standardize the testing process across
+multiple teams and projects.
+
+### SAP India
+
+I worked as a software consultant for three years at SAP India Pvt. Ltd. As a consultant I worked with diverse teams both within India and globally and delivered successful projects across multiple domains. At my tenure in SAP, I learnt how to manage stakeholders and create value for my team and company. This lead to multiple awards in recognition of my contributions.
+
+### Defence Research and Development Organization
+
+As an intern at the Defence Research and Development organization, I worked in creating a method of uniquely identifying FPGA boards using the underlying silicon structure via ring oscillators. This work gave me an understanding of real world applications of some of the theoretical background I learnt at [Amrita](https://www.amrita.edu/).
+
+## What I have learnt
+
+My Alma mater includes [Amrita University](https://www.amrita.edu/) and [TU Delft](https://microelectronics.tudelft.nl/Education/bio.php?id=1176) from where I got my bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineer respectively. During my studies I have specialized in signal processing with a strong background in linear algebra, probability and statistics. I have taken up courses in Antenna Systems, Electromagnetics, Communication Theory, Remote Sensing and many more. Please feel free to have a look at my [CV](https://karanjayachandra.gitlab.io/cv) for more information.

+I am well versed in development in python and MATLAB with some experience in C programming and basic experience with FPGA development.
