About

Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience in GPU graphics device driver development for ARM-based SoCs. Experienced in C/C++ and low-level graphics and compute APIs including OpenGL ES, Vulkan API (Graphics and Compute), and OpenCL. Skilled in using GPU profiling tools to analyze GPU performance, execution behavior, and memory usage. Currently working on ANCLE framework development for Samsungs GPU. The framework enables OpenCL workloads to run on Vulkan Compute by converting OpenCL API calls into Vulkan Compute APIs at the middleware level. This allows OpenCL applications to utilize the Vulkan UMD/KMD driver stack for processing.Also involved in developing OpenCL extensions as part of the ANCLE framework to enhance compute functionality and improve integration between OpenCL and Vulkan-based GPU drivers
