Shakti Singh — Software Engineer

Seasoned Software Engineer and systems innovator with 12+ years of experience building high-performance products across EDA compilers, XR systems, camera pipelines, computer vision, and trading infrastructure. I specialize in deep tech R&D, system architecture, and performance optimization, transforming complex technologies into scalable, production-grade solutions. At Synopsys, I lead key initiatives in the VCS Compiler and Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC) tools, focusing on feature innovation, runtime scalability, and synthesis efficiency. I recently spearheaded a multi-threading performance optimization project that delivered 5×–10× gains on large SoC designs, significantly accelerating compile times and throughput. Previously, at XCOM Labs, I helped architect split-rendering XR systems with ultra-low latency and designed high-performance audio/video streaming pipelines. At Qualcomm, I contributed to both Camera ISP and XR platforms, building frameworks and codecs for Snapdragon-based systems powering advanced imaging and immersive AR/VR experiences. Earlier at FlexTrade, I developed low-latency trading systems for global financial markets. I’ve also explored the use of AI-assisted engineering systems, applying LLMs, embeddings, and graph reasoning to enhance code understanding and performance analysis. This experience shaped my vision for intelligent, high-performance software ecosystems that bridge deep systems engineering with modern AI capabilities.
