About

Embedded Research and Systems Engineer with 4.5 years of experience specializing in BSP development, Linux-based system integration, and platform validation across ARM, RISC-V, and x86 architectures. Currently driving RISC-V webOS platform enablement at LG Soft India, I focus on OS porting, kernel-userspace debugging, and system optimization. My background includes post-silicon development and validation for AMD client platforms and graphics driver integration for Alif Semiconductor. I thrive on solving complex stability issues, performing deep-dive root cause analysis (RCA), and delivering production-grade software that meets stringent reliability standards. Core Competencies: 1. Architectures: RISC-V, ARM, x86 2. Operating Systems: Embedded Linux (Kernel/Userspace), webOS 3. Build Systems: Yocto Project (Layer development, BitBake, Toolchains) 4. Debugging: GDB, perf, strace, systemd-analyze, Lauterbach Trace32 5. Protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, USB, MIPI-DSI
