About

Software Engineer – System Software at Intel, working on Android platform and ALOS development across the AOSP framework, HAL, JNI, and Linux kernel layers. I focus on system performance, connectivity, power management, USB, and platform reliability — debugging end-to-end across the Android framework → HAL → HCI → kernel stack. Highlights at Intel: • Improved Android Wi-Fi download throughput by 50–120% and cut install/transfer times by 20–60% across 200+ Google apps, upstreamed with Google. • Raised gaming efficiency across 54 games (2–3% higher FPS, 10–20% lower CPU frequency) via Game Mode/SoC Slider tuning. • Resolved cross-stack Bluetooth issues (A2DP, HFP, LE Audio) and integrated Rust into the Bluetooth HAL for power-aware idle handling. • Built an automated Android failure-analysis platform (Python/FastAPI) that cut first-level triage from hours to minutes across 17 domains. Beyond system software: 5 published patents and 3 research publications across AI, IoT, computer vision, and document intelligence, plus 4th place among 215+ teams at the Intel Gen AI Hackathon 2024. Core areas: Android AOSP/ALOS • Android Framework • HAL/AIDL/JNI • Linux Kernel • Bluetooth • Wi-Fi • USB • Power Management • Rust • C++ • Python • Performance Engineering
