Subject: JetBrains Content Creators Program – DV/embedded educator

Hi JetBrains team,

I'm Abinaya, a Design Verification Engineer with an M.S. in ECE and an active IEEE member (Technical Committee member and reviewer). I create educational content on semiconductor design verification, UVM/SystemVerilog and AI for hardware for an engaged audience of practicing and aspiring engineers on LinkedIn and YouTube.

Why I'm reaching out: The JetBrains Content Creators Program is open and license-based, and CLion + the HDL plugin ecosystem fit my hardware-adjacent audience. I'd love to explore a collaboration through the JetBrains Content Creators Program — creating genuinely useful, technically rigorous content rather than a one-off promo.

A few ideas I had in mind:

  • Tutorial: CLion for embedded/hardware C/C++ verification workflows.
  • Content on IDE-based productivity for RTL/verification engineers.
  • YouTube 'IDE setup for a DV engineer' walkthrough.

I'm equally open to unpaid, product/access-based or ambassador arrangements — my priority is a long-term, trusted relationship. Could I send over a short proposal and content samples, or connect with the right person on your team?

Thank you for your time and for the work JetBrains does for the engineering community.

Warm regards,

Abinaya
