About

I am an Embedded Firmware Engineer with experience in Linux BSP development, board bring-up, firmware integration, and low-level platform debugging on ARM64-based systems. Currently working at Wipro as a Project Engineer in the Linux Device Developer L2 role, I work on Marvell CN9130/CN9131 and Armada platforms involving UEFI (EDK2), ATF, Linux kernel, and SDK integration. My experience includes ACPI enablement, OpenWRT integration, PCIe and eMMC debugging, DHCP/NFS issue analysis, secure boot validation, and LAN/WAN interface bring-up. I have hands-on experience in low-level debugging across firmware, bootloader, and kernel layers, including PCIe hot reset recovery, MSI allocation analysis, Device Tree-based board configuration, and platform-level issue investigation. Previously, at Cisco Bengaluru, I worked on enterprise backend and financial planning applications using Oracle Hyperion Essbase. I contributed to New Year Readiness enhancements, validation activities, and Agile-based workflow management involving Jira and JQL. My interests include Embedded Linux, BSP development, platform software, firmware debugging, Linux kernel technologies, and ARM64-based systems.
