About

Senior Software Engineer working at the intersection of AI, systems engineering, and hardware–software architecture. With 10+ years of experience spanning silicon validation, graphics drivers, automation frameworks, and CI/CD infrastructure, I design intelligent platforms that reduce engineering entropy at scale. I build AI-powered code review systems (Gerrit), repository intelligence assistants for complex codebases and ARM architecture, and resilient CI/CD and hardware regression frameworks that strengthen feedback loops across the development lifecycle. My focus is on creating high-signal systems that improve code quality, accelerate learning, and preserve architectural integrity as complexity grows.
