About

At Qualcomm, leading the charge in boot architecture design and development(secure boot), for all the premium tier SoCs/programs. In addition to this i have been working on Firmware Development and Validation, Debug and Resolution of issues. I have also been working on the SoC validation in both pre(RUMI, Veloce) and post silicon environments. Framework and Infra development for in-system testing that eliminates the need for a debugger is among the strategic initiatives I've spearheaded and worked on, reflecting a commitment to efficiency and cutting-edge practices. With Embedded C as a core tool, my efforts have significantly streamlined SoC validation processes, reinforcing Qualcomm's position at the forefront of technological development.
