Subject: Guest verification content collaboration – UVM/SystemVerilog educator + IEEE reviewer
Hi Siemens EDA 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: Verification Academy is THE free education platform for UVM/SystemVerilog/formal/coverage – my exact niche. I'd love to explore a collaboration through Verification Academy — creating genuinely useful, technically rigorous content rather than a one-off promo.
A few ideas I had in mind:
- Contribute a Verification Academy 'cookbook' recipe: a reusable UVM scoreboard pattern with worked examples.
- Guest Verification Horizons article: 'Applying LLMs to accelerate UVM testbench bring-up.'
- Co-host a webinar on coverage closure strategies using Questa.
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 Siemens EDA does for the engineering community.
Warm regards,
Abinaya

Hi again — following up on my note about collaborating with Siemens EDA on educational content for the verification/AI-hardware community. Totally understand inboxes get busy. If there's a better person or channel for creator/DevRel partnerships, I'd be grateful for a pointer. Happy to share my content samples and a short proposal whenever timing works. Thanks so much!
