• Co-Chair of the organizing committee of Innovations in Compiler Technology Workshop (IICT) since 2024.
• Innovations in Compiler Technology (IICT) is a workshop dedicated to bringing together researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts in the field of compiler technologies. Our inaugural edition, IICT 2024, was met with an enthusiastic response, drawing over 200 participants from across the compiler community. Building on that success, IICT 2025 saw more than 400 attendees and was sponsored by Nvidia, Google, Qualcomm, Quadric, CDAC and ACM and held at IISc Bangalore.
• Main organizer of the SEGFAULT Hackathon, co-located and co-organized as a part of IICT 2025. The SEGFAULT Hackathon saw over 100 individuals across 48 teams building Compiler themed projects.

• ISO 26262, requires the measurement of structural coverage (=code coverage) and explains the importance of this method for the development of safety-related SW.
• There are commercial and open-source tools that measure code coverage for user space application and for the Linux kernel but an important part is missing – code coverage for GLibC. This is a crucial gap for a safety case of Linux because many of the kernel’s core services (memory management, thread management, locking) are implemented in GLibC with complex code.
• Building glibc with gcc and code coverage instrumentation was not possible. The last reference on the internet to this problem is from seven years ago (https://libc-help.sourceware.narkive.com/WT9CfAx8/glibc-build-with-gcov-support).
• Submitted a patch to GLibC that enables building of code coverage enabled libraries, and gave a presentation during the #6 ELISA conference held on 3rd February 2021.
