What I'm looking for

I seek embedded/firmware roles focused on Linux kernel and driver development, edge-AI networking, and system-level debugging at companies that value technical rigor, mentorship, and opportunities for global relocation.

I am an embedded software engineer with 1.5+ years of professional experience focused on Linux kernel, WLAN driver development, and edge-AI driven networking and embedded systems. I build and optimize low-level drivers and have hands-on experience in ML-based traffic classification and QoS optimization.

At Qualcomm and previously at Softnautics, I designed and implemented ML-based application traffic classification for intelligent QoS, developed and maintained Yocto-based BSPs, created custom Linux device drivers, and integrated multimedia pipelines using GStreamer. I routinely perform kernel and driver debugging with tools such as T32, Valgrind, and deep log analysis to deliver production-ready fixes.

I am results-oriented, skilled in C/C++ and system-level debugging, and open to global embedded and firmware opportunities with relocation. My work includes published patent activity, conference recognition in AI/ML, and hands-on mentoring and teaching in IoT and ESP32 development.
