About

Passionate about systems programming, multithreading, and cutting-edge technology, I thrive on optimizing and designing high-performance computing solutions. Currently working as a Senior Engineer at Qualcomm, I am excited to begin a new chapter focused on building impactful and high-performance systems. Prior to this, I worked as a Lead Engineer at Samsung R&D Institute India, where I specialized in creating and optimizing RISC-V Clang/LLVM toolchains for specific use cases, with a strong focus on performance enhancements through middle-end optimizations and scheduling. As a Senior Engineer at Samsung, I worked extensively on optimizing network-specific kernels for RISC-V, designed a multi-core architecture tailored for network workloads, and received a patent as the primary inventor. My contributions earned me two Spot Awards within my first year. Additionally, I hold the RISC-V Foundational Associate Certification from the Linux Foundation and have experience working with ARM Neon architecture for performance improvements in image transformation. With an M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering from IIT Bombay, I have a strong foundation in systems programming and performance optimization. I am always eager to explore emerging technologies and solve complex engineering challenges.
