About

I’m a System Software Engineer at Intel with 6+ years of experience building software at the intersection of hardware, operating systems, platform engineering, and automation. My core strength is C/C++ system software — turning low-level platform capabilities into reliable, testable, and production-ready software. My work spans: • System & Platform Software — hardware/software interfaces, platform controls, system telemetry, performance, and stability • Power & Thermal Management — workload optimization, thermal policy tuning, CPU/GPU power balancing, and platform performance • Wireless & RF — RF interference mitigation and channel optimization for improving Wi-Fi reliability • Drivers & Hardware Interfaces — kernel/user-space interfaces, low-level register access, I3C, and platform integration • Validation & Automation — platform validation, regression automation, benchmarking, and workload orchestration • AI-Assisted Engineering — agentic automation, GenAI-powered testing, simulation, and developer productivity At Intel, I have: → Developed system software for Intel DTT, delivering a 10% performance improvement across multiple platforms → Built RFIM technology to mitigate DDR-induced Wi-Fi interference and prevent up to ~50% throughput degradation → Contributed to kernel driver and user-space interfaces for CPU mailbox register access → Developed an I3C communication PoC on Windows for end-to-end protocol validation → Automated benchmark and gaming workloads, reducing manual effort by 90% → Designed an Agentic Automation Framework that reduced manual engineering effort by 50% → Developed a GenAI-powered testing solution reducing manual testing effort by 60% → Built an XGBoost-based predictive model achieving 77% accuracy for workload-aware optimization → Developed cross-platform telemetry solutions across Linux, Windows, and ChromeOS I enjoy solving problems where software meets hardware — particularly system performance, platform reliability, low-level interfaces, automation, and intelligent engineering workflows.
