About

With over 12+ years of experience, including 7.5 years at Intel, I bring deep expertise in embedded software design and development. My work focuses on bootloader and boot firmware development for edge and server platforms, as well as driver development for GPU manageability controllers using Zephyr OS. Proficient in manageability protocols like MCTP, PMT, and PECI, I have contributed to firmware solutions across ARMv8 and x86 architectures. At Intel, I specialize in crafting robust firmware solutions, enabling seamless system integrations and debugging complex issues. My mission is to advance embedded technologies by leveraging skills in Embedded C, ARM architecture, and manageability protocols to drive innovation in edge computing.
