I am a systems engineer specializing in Modern C++ (11/14/17) and cross-platform embedded systems including QNX, Linux, and Android. I architect high-performance profiling tools and hardware-software integrations, with a proven track record of optimizing CPU and memory utilization by over 60% in production environments.

• libqcperf: I architected and developed this entire performance profiling framework from scratch as part of a Qualcomm open-source initiative. I currently serve as the primary maintainer, overseeing its evolution and community contributions.

• Languages: C, Modern C++, Python (Scripting), Shell Scripting
• Systems: QNX, Embedded Linux, Android (LA), Windows on Snapdragon (WoS)
• Frameworks/Tools: gRPC, Protobuf, STL, Boost, CMake, Docker, Jenkins
• Specializations: System-level Profiling, Socket Programming, Kernel-level Debugging (Windbg/GDB), and Performance Telemetry

• End-to-End Engineering: Engineered the Qualcomm Profiler from scratch—a system-level tool for QNX, Android, and Windows on Snapdragon.
• Performance Optimization: Reduced CPU cycle utilization by 80% and memory footprint by 65% through algorithmic optimizations and custom memory allocators.
• Real-time Diagnostics: Architected On-Host profiling APIs via IP/Socket layers for automotive and mobile subsystems.
• Subsystem Instrumentation: Designed telemetry for GPU, Thermal, and DSP, providing granular performance data for Tier-1 OEMs.

• GATE: Secured AIR 805 (Top 0.8%) in Computer Science.
• Google Hash Code 2019: Achieved World Rank 3143.
• Education: M.Tech from IIIT Bangalore (2020-2022).
