Firmware/Embedded Software Engineer | C, C++, Rust | Debugging Specialist | System Validation | AI/ML |. With over 20 years of experience in system software engineering, I specialize in firmware development, platform bring-up, and system validation across a wide range of server and embedded platforms. My career has been built on architecting and delivering low-level software solutions that enable reliable, scalable, and high-performance hardware systems. I bring deep expertise in C, C++, and Rust, with a strong foundation in system-level programming, bootloaders, device drivers, and board support packages (BSP). I’ve led and contributed to multiple successful silicon bring-ups and post-silicon validation efforts for both x86 and ARM-based SoCs, working at the intersection of hardware and software. Exploring Generative AI concepts, including LLM behavior, prompt design strategies, and response optimization techniques. Key areas of focus include: Firmware development and validation for server platforms System bring-up, platform initialization, and SoC debug UEFI, BMC, RAS, DMTF (IPMI, MCTP, PLDM, SPDM, Redfish) and low-level kernel debugging RTOS development and integration (ThreadX, WinCE, etc.) Interfaces such as PCIe, CXL, USB/USB Type-C, and WLAN MAC Cluster-scale validation and platform reliability engineering I’m passionate about building resilient firmware stacks that push the boundaries of hardware innovation. Whether it’s working with silicon teams during early validation or optimizing code for performance and reliability in production, I thrive in low-level, complex engineering environments.
