About

Recently joined Qualcomm QDSP Performance Team for E2E Post-Silicon Power and Performance Validation of NSP IP in Snapdragon Processors. Previously at Altera, a part of Intel, my role revolved around ensuring the power integrity of Intel IPUs and vRAN Accelerators, contributing to the technical readiness and design robustness during pre-silicon phases. We've successfully led post-silicon power validation activities, steering projects from initial power-on to market release with efficiency and precision. Prior to Intel as a Senior SQA Engineer at NVIDIA, I honed my skills in performance analysis and power measurement, crafting comprehensive test plans and benchmarks for various system modules. Our collaborative efforts with cross-functional teams significantly enhanced product quality, ensuring their market readiness and competitive edge.
