About

Strategic engineering leader with 20+ years of progressive experience in multimedia validation, test automation, and product engineering across Qualcomm, AMD, and NVIDIA. Proven expertise in designing and scaling test strategies for complex embedded multimedia systems, achieving consistent efficiency gains through innovative automation frameworks and process transformation. Leadership strength demonstrated by building and mentoring high-performing teams of 20+ engineers, coaching engineers into future leadership roles, and delivering multi-billion dollar consumer products to market with zero critical defects. Deep technical foundation in multimedia video and display subsystems, and cross-platform architectures across mobile, PC, XR, automotive, and IoT domains. My strength lies in connecting product vision with engineering execution: breaking down complex system use cases into hardware–software layers and designing scalable, hierarchical test strategies that optimize performance, power efficiency, and product reliability. Strategic program management capabilities including product roadmap ownership from pre-silicon conception through commercialization, cross-geographical team coordination (San Diego, Shanghai, Bangalore), budget management, and stakeholder alignment across Development, Product Management, and Customer Engineering organizations. I am skilled at driving continuous improvement initiatives, fostering a culture of excellence, and ensuring adherence to stringent quality standards. I am a strong mentor/lead with a metrics-driven approach towards improving product quality focusing on end user experience.
