I build BIOS/UEFI firmware across Intel and AMD platforms, from silicon bring-up and platform configuration through validation, release, and customer delivery.

At Intel, I led firmware development and validation for reference discrete graphics cards, including Gen12 Graphics IP in-field repair and high-bandwidth memory self-test features. I also led UEFI BIOS development for Intel reference boards, platform responsiveness, and power-management work across pre- and post-silicon environments.

For Insyde and AMD engagements, I built and managed BIOS teams, trained engineers, automated UEFI build-to-test workflows with QEMU and WinHost, and navigated EDK II, Slim Bootloader, and IBV stack trade-offs. I have also owned host platform firmware development and QA for Lenovo and Dell products integrated into IBM cloud servers.

My work includes RAID expansion ROMs, OEM BIOS features, UEFI drivers, BIOS porting, hardware debugging, and customer-specific firmware for Panasonic, Samsung, Fujitsu, HCL, and Happiest Minds. I enjoy turning complex platform requirements into stable firmware, practical tooling, and reliable releases.
