I lead post-silicon validation and qualification for enterprise Intel Xeon server platforms.

India
Message

At Intel Technologies India, I lead end-to-end validation for four next-generation Intel Xeon server platforms, taking products from bring-up through release readiness. I manage and mentor validation teams, define strategy, test plans, quality metrics, and risk mitigation across hardware and software milestones.

I validate security, HSIO, storage, manageability, RAS, firmware updates, memory, and virtualization features, partnering with platform, firmware, OS, and hardware architecture teams to resolve complex issues. I also use Microsoft Copilot AI for test-coverage analysis, debugging, validation dashboards, reporting, and planning.

Earlier, I led enterprise server qualification for Nutanix on HPE, Dell EMC, and Cisco UCS systems, and delivered Intel client platform post-silicon and BIOS validation across Skylake, Kaby Lake, and Ice Lake. My background spans server deployment, platform integration, debugging, root cause analysis, and release-quality execution.
