About

Software Engineer at Ittiam Systems working in the Android media domain, with hands-on experience in video codecs and system-level multimedia development. My work primarily involves H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC pipelines within the Android Media Framework, focusing on performance, stability, and standards compliance. I have contributed to codec enhancements, MediaCodec validation through Android CTS, and debugging of complex issues in native C/C++ environments, including multithreading and memory-related defects. I enjoy working close to the system stack and understanding how media pipelines behave under real-world constraints. I hold an Integrated B.Tech + M.Tech in Computer Science from NIT Hamirpur and am particularly interested in low-level multimedia systems, performance engineering, and Android platform internals.
