About

I'm an embedded firmware engineer with 3+ years of production experience from Qualcomm, where I built and optimized C firmware for ARM-based LTE / 5G modem platforms — RTOS, low-level drivers, power management, and system debugging. I care about the low-level layer — how firmware, drivers, and hardware actually behave — and I build projects to deepen that understanding.

My work spans STM32/FreeRTOS firmware, Linux kernel drivers, CAN and BLE. Each project is structured like real engineering: requirements, architecture, phased development, debugging notes, and a validation plan — not just a demo.

I hold an M.S. in Electrical Engineering (4.0 / 4.0) from UT Arlington and have professional experience from Qualcomm. I'm currently open to Firmware / Embedded Software Engineer roles in Canada and India, and I'm actively exploring AI-native embedded workflows — more on that below.
