Subject: AMD AI Developer Program – showcase collaboration on hardware verification content

Hi AMD 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: AMD's AI Developer Program is open-enrollment with built-in showcase opportunities on AMD Developer channels, and your adaptive-SoC/FPGA lineage is directly relevant to hardware verification. I'd love to explore a collaboration through the AMD AI Developer Program — creating genuinely useful, technically rigorous content rather than a one-off promo.

A few ideas I had in mind:

  • Series on FPGA/adaptive-SoC verification using AMD (Xilinx) Versal reference flows.
  • Tutorial using AMD Dev Cloud credits to run ML-assisted verification workloads.
  • 'AI PC for engineers' review focused on local LLMs helping DV workflows.

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 AMD does for the engineering community.

Warm regards,

Abinaya

Hi — I'm Abinaya, a Design Verification Engineer (IEEE member) creating educational content on semiconductor verification, UVM/SystemVerilog and AI for hardware. I follow AMD's work closely and would love to connect and explore ways to collaborate around your developer/creator community.

🔁 Follow-up (no response, ~5–7 days later)

Hi again — following up on my note about collaborating with AMD 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!
