About

Senior System Software / Firmware Engineer with 19+ years of experience working across platform bring-up, system-level integration, validation, and debugging of complex ARM-based SoCs and embedded platforms. My work spans the complete lifecycle of hardware and firmware development, including pre-silicon and post-silicon validation, SoC and board bring-up, bootloader and OS integration, and root-cause analysis of Hardware/Firmware issues across multiple subsystems. I have hands-on experience with Embedded Linux, RTOS and bare-metal systems, low-level firmware, and platform software, along with strong exposure to debugging memory, interconnect, and high-speed I/O issues. I enjoy working at the intersection of hardware and software, where problems are often ambiguous and require structured, system-level thinking. Over the years, I have collaborated closely with hardware, validation, and customer teams, often acting as a technical point-of-contact for complex platform issues. I value engineering excellence, clear problem ownership, and mentoring engineers to build reliable, scalable systems. Currently focused on platform-level firmware, bring-up, validation, and system debugging for next-generation computing platforms.
