About

I am a Senior Staff Engineer with 20+ years of experience building, validating, and commercializing large-scale wireless and Android platform technologies. My expertise spans Bluetooth Classic, BLE, LE Audio (CIS, BIG, Broadcast, Multipoint), XPAN, and ADK-compliant Bluetooth stacks, with a strong focus on taking specifications from definition to production-quality deployment. At Qualcomm, I lead XPAN and LE Audio validation and delivery, driving system-level quality across BLE, P2P, and Wi-Fi. My work focuses on QoS, latency, roaming, seamless handover, reliability, and automation at scale, ensuring Tier-1 readiness and Bluetooth SIG compliance. I have played a key role in complex initiatives such as Synergy-to-ADK stack migration, multipoint audio enablement, and enterprise-scale validation frameworks. I regularly partner with global Tier-1 customers including Samsung, Bose, and Xiaomi, providing technical leadership through design reviews, root-cause analysis, and critical pre- and post-launch escalations. Earlier in my career, I worked closely with OEMs such as HTC, ASUS, LG, and Pegatron, contributing to multiple design wins across smartphones and consumer devices. I combine deep hands-on expertise in C, Java, Python, Android frameworks, and Bluetooth stacks with strong architectural judgment and cross-team leadership to deliver robust, production-grade connectivity solutions.
