About

As a Senior Engineer at Qualcomm, I contribute to the development and optimization of debug components for DSP subsystems. My work focuses on enhancing register access, memory workflows, and thread-state management while improving debug flow reliability. My expertise extends to analyzing debug behavior using tools like Trace32, target logs, and DAP-level traffic. With an MTech in System on Chip Design from IIT Palakkad, I bring a strong technical foundation to my role. My skills in CMM, Trace32, and automation align seamlessly with my responsibilities in debug flow optimization and enhancements. I remain committed to advancing efficient and robust debugging solutions for cutting-edge technologies.
