Experience

Arm

Senior Software Engineer

Mar 2025 – Present · 1 yr · Cambridge, England, United Kingdom · Hybrid

Working on reference software enablement for Arm’s Lumex (Total Compute) platforms, focusing on the software stack that powers high-performance edge compute systems.
My role bridges low-level firmware, operating system bring-up, and platform integration, ensuring silicon, firmware, and software align for next-generation AI compute workloads.
Key areas of contribution include:
Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A): Boot flow analysis, customization, and enablement for new platform variants
System Control Processor (SCP) Firmware (TF-M): Power & system management firmware bring-up & debugging
Platform Bring-up: With FVP simulation and FPGA-based prototyping, Android-based system bring-up, debug, and performance/stability validation
Virtualization & Security: Enabling Confidential Compute features (VM for AVF guests, pKVM integration, Armv9-RME, and secure memory management)

Software Developer

Sep 2022 – Mar 2025 · 2 yrs 6 mos · Eindhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands · On-site

Worked with Machine Conditioning, Flow and Temperature Control group, in a highly multi disciplinary environment. Our team focused on the software aspect of various components in ASML's deep ultraviolet (DUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines.
Developed and deployed drivers to fetch, process, validate, and calibrate sensors across 4 HW platforms
Migrated control drivers from VxWorks to Linux; performed significant architectural modifications and rigorous testing to ensure 0 regression impact
Analyzed SW feasibility and compatibility of using ARM64 instead of PowerPC on a new host board
Designed high accuracy SW calibration tests in Python to fine-tune parameters for optimal throughput
Revamped an internal C++ based diagnostic tool to use QT5; increased factory usability and commonality

Qualcomm

Embedded Engineer

Jul 2017 – Jul 2020 · 3 yrs · Greater Hyderabad Area

Broadly worked on host side driver for WLAN. Mainly involved in the layer of the driver that is responsible for communicating, synchronizing and acting as an entry point for all communication from kernel/user space. Some specifics of my work includes :-
Engineered and implemented segments of IEEE 802.11 protocols (11n/ac/ax) in MAC layer of Wi-Fi driver
Revamped the driver request dispatch scheduler, in-driver memory management & FW communication
Developed regression test suite using kernel fuzzer (syzkaller); resulting in 70%+ increase in test coverage and 30% reduction in external security-bug reports
Provided software and debugging support for various board bring-ups
Ensured stable communication between Linux Kernel and wpa-supplicant by optimizing cfg80211/nl80211 interfaces
Solved critical security issues reported by various customers/internal test teams.
Resolved deadlocks in concurrent requests, improving driver stability with robust thread synchronization
