About

Currently contributing to Qualcomm as a Senior TL System Software Engineer, working on low-level system software for ARM-based SoCs in the autonomous vehicles and automotive domain. Collaborates with hardware, firmware, and architecture teams to enhance scalability, security, and reliability of Linux kernel drivers, memory and I/O virtualization (KVM/pKVM, IOMMU, virtio), and platform security mechanisms in high-performance, safety-critical environments. Graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering from NMAM Institute of Technology in 2020. Prior experience includes roles at Apple, focusing on 5G L1 Control systems, and Saankhya Labs, specializing in the 5G New Radio physical layer. Brings expertise in real-time operating systems (RTOS), operating systems, and ARM-based platforms to drive innovation in embedded systems and platform development.

Sep 2022 – May 2025 · 2 yrs 8 mos

Designed and developed production-grade, multithreaded C++ system software running on Linux-based ARM SoCs for real-time 5G modem and control-plane subsystems in highly concurrent environments. Designed control logic for event-triggered data capture (IQ tracing) with robust state tracking and interlayer signaling. Implemented event-driven state machines and inter-module signaling mechanisms for L1 control and PHY coordination. Worked extensively with OS-level primitives including threads, mutexes, condition variables, and memory-management concepts in high-throughput modem SW. Built hardware-near control modules interacting with lower-level firmware and 5G PHY components, following strict timing, reliability, and latency constraints comparable to device-driver architectures. Delivered feature enhancements for 5G carrier aggregation and power-optimization mechanisms, improving system stability and performance under dynamic radio and runtime conditions. Led cross-team debugging and integration efforts across 5G protocol stack components (L1, MAC, RRC interactions), driving critical system issues to closure.
