Bio
Dai Dai
I’m lucky to have the opportunity to work with Ky-Anh for more than 3 years while he was at Nvidia. Ky-Anh is an extremely talented engineer. He possesses not only in-depth knowledge on circuits and impressive analytical skills, but also the best fundamentals in math/physics I’ve ever seen among circuits designers. Being a quick learner who keeps striving for self-betterment, by the time he left he can already single-handedly handle tasks from circuits design, comprehensive verification to system-level analysis, behavioral modeling and even lab bring-up work. Basically he’s a rare all-round engineer, and with his dedication to work, he always delivers with both great efficiency and highest standard. Ky-Anh is also a cheerful team member. He is always ready to help others and is willing to share his knowledge/findings. I give him my highest recommendation and I believe he will be a top contributor in any company he joins.

Ky-Anh is a outstanding circuit designer. He has excellent fundamentals, learns new things very quickly, works extremely hard and efficiently, and is a lot of fun to work with! I hope I have the opportunity to work with Ky-Anh again in the future.

Oct 2015 - Apr 2019
As part of the NVLINK team, I was involved in the design and verification of various circuit blocks for multi-standard PHY's. I worked on both PLL and the RX circuits. I also worked on building the behavioral verification flow, link margin analysis and novel analytical methods for system analysis. The work was targeted for volume production, and has shipped in multiple generations of NVIDIA products.
