About

I am a Software Engineer currently working on 5G NR Physical Layer Downlink (DL) Driver modules that interface between PHY control logic and RF/compute hardware. My focus is on delivering tangible improvements in latency, accuracy, and system efficiency across performance‑critical modem paths. I take ownership of cross‑functional initiatives, collaborating closely with RF, PHY, and MAC/RRC teams to drive correct OTA‑aligned behaviour, influence design decisions, and ensure robust HW/SW integration across the modem stack. I enjoy working at system boundaries where timing, configurability, and correctness are key. I am passionate about building scalable and maintainable low‑level architectures, raising engineering standards, and simplifying complex systems without compromising performance. My long‑term goal is to grow into technical leadership roles, helping shape next‑generation wireless platforms and modem architectures.
