What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue building and validating Linux-based platforms, firmware, and hardware-software integrations, with opportunities to investigate complex system issues, automate diagnostics, and contribute to platform bring-up.

I build the validation infrastructure that qualifies GPU and AI accelerator servers before they ship into hyperscale datacenters.

Over 3 years working on Meta's Linux-based server infrastructure, I've designed and automated firmware validation frameworks for BIOS/UEFI, BMC, GPU, NIC, SSD, and CPLD components — covering board bring-up through EVT, DVT, and PVT phases of product development. My frameworks currently run qualification across 1000+ servers in production, cutting manual validation effort and accelerating time-to-readiness for next-generation compute platforms.

I work at the hardware-software boundary: root-causing PCIe device failures, firmware interoperability issues, and accelerator initialization bugs using dmesg, strace, perf, ipmitool, lspci, nvidia-smi, and dmidecode. I script in Python and Bash to turn manual debug workflows into repeatable automation, and I'm comfortable working close to standards like IPMI, PLDM, MCTP, and Redfish where BMC and BIOS need to talk to each other reliably.

B.Tech in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, IIT Patna.

I'm looking to go deeper into system software, embedded Linux, and platform validation for AI compute infrastructure — building the qualification systems that let hardware teams ship faster with confidence.
