Tejender Upadhyay — Software Engineer

🥷Building the Future 👋 Hi, I'm Tejender Upadhyay, a Software Engineer from IIIT Kota (CGPA 8.91) with a strong foundation in systems programming, cloud platforms, and software development. I’m currently part of the Public Cloud (CPC) Google Squad at Canonical, working to ensure that Ubuntu delivers a smooth, consistent, and high-quality experience across major cloud providers. This role lets me combine my interest in cloud computing with my background in systems software — something I’ve always been passionate about since high school. Before Canonical, I worked across some incredible engineering teams: 🔹 Qualcomm – Linux/Android Display (User-Mode) Team Built and maintained user-space components of the display stack, optimized performance, and collaborated closely with firmware and kernel teams to support Snapdragon platforms. 🔹 AMD – Windows Multimedia & SoundWire Driver Team Took complete ownership of non-HAP Windows audio driver development, enabling premium low-power SoundWire-based audio experiences for Ryzen laptops. Worked extensively on kernel debugging (WinDbg), performance improvements, and end-to-end driver flows. 🔹 NVIDIA – GPU Compiler Assemblers Team Engineered a debugging and validation framework for malformed ELF files, improved reliability of NVDisasm, and strengthened compiler infrastructure — deepening my understanding of GPU systems and low-level tooling. 🛠️ Technical Skills Languages: C++, Python, JavaScript Systems: Windows Drivers, Linux Internals, Debugging, OS Concepts Cloud & DevOps: Ubuntu Server, Docker, AWS/GCP, CI/CD Full-Stack: MERN stack, REST APIs Databases: MongoDB, SQL, Elasticsearch Tools: Git, GitHub, Perforce, Linux CLI ✨ What I enjoy most: Solving deep technical problems, learning new technologies, working across system layers, and building reliable software that impacts real users. 📌 Now exploring the cloud world at Canonical, contributing to Ubuntu’s reliability and performance on global cloud platforms. 📫 Always open to meaningful conversations around systems engineering, cloud, and open source. Let’s connect!
