ANIL KUMAR — Software Engineer

I build reliable, production-grade Windows platform software — from kernel-level services and BIOS diagnostics to React Native micro-frontends serving millions of HP users. 20 years of engineering across Samsung, Canon, and HP (12+ years). I have independently architected, developed, and shipped multiple HP products end-to-end, led cross-team integrations across five repositories, and owned architectural decisions on ARM/x64 platform reliability. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What I'm working on now: → HP System Information Migration — Lead architect migrating standalone diagnostics into HP's unified app platform. RPC-based BIOS integration, real-time system data rendering, deep links, and BIOS-flag-based restart into diagnostics mode. → Agentic AI (AAVA) HITL Governance — HP's Human-in-the-Loop lead for AI-assisted SDLC. I define quality gates for AI-generated code: correctness, PR validation, merge readiness, architectural alignment, and feature flag control. Assessed AI accuracy at ~20-25% autonomously correct. → HP Task Groups — Window layout management with 100% unit test coverage and ~99.8% MFU coverage. Led ARM enablement, pluginization architecture analysis, and sole-engineer delivery under resource constraints. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Career highlights: ▪ 15+ products shipped across Samsung, Canon, and HP ▪ 100% unit test coverage and ~99.8% MFU coverage on critical modules ▪ Integration across 5 independent cross-team repositories ▪ Canon Innovation Award 2012 (gold) · Canon Best Employee Q4 2011 ▪ Multiple HP recognitions for Sure View, MIK 1.0, and platform contributions ▪ Invention disclosure: "Explainable AI Techniques for Interpreting Black-Box ML Models" ▪ M.Tech (BITS Pilani) · Executive MBA (Amity) · B.Tech CS (MNNIT Allahabad, NIT) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Core technical areas: ▪ C++11/14/23 · C# · Python · TypeScript · PowerShell ▪ Win32 · COM · RPC · WMI · Windows Services · BIOS/Firmware ▪ React Native Windows · Micro-Frontends · Feature Flags ▪ x86 / x64 / ARM — cross-compilation, conditional gating, platform debugging ▪ Veracode · Trivy · STS · OSRB · Threat Modeling ▪ Azure DevOps · GitHub Enterprise · SCCM · CI/CD pipelines ▪ Linux Kernel · Xen Hypervisor · Embedded Systems ▪ Agentic AI · LLM Validation · HITL Governance · Prompt Engineering ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Open to roles in Systems Diagnostics, Windows Platform Engineering, AI-Assisted SDLC, and Technical Leadership where architecture depth, reliability, and measurable delivery matter.
