I am a Software Development Manager at AWS EC2 Networking, where I lead a team of Software Engineers responsible for building software-defined networking (SDN) technologies that power the data plane of EC2 instances. My team designs, develops, tests, optimizes, and deploys platform software that enables virtual networking interfaces and VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) communication.

As a Single-threaded Owner (Lead Product TPM), I led the software design, development, and productization of platform software and features powering Meta's AR/VR product portfolio (Meta Portal, Meta Quest). This involved leading a cross-functional team of Software Engineers, Designers, Data Scientists/Data Engineers, and QA on delivering 0->1 products. I owned the product/feature definition, product strategy, planning and execution of software/hardware roadmaps, system design/architecture, security and privacy and defining product and engineering KPIs.

Led and managed a talented team of software engineers towards technology incubation, systems integration, automation, and SoC bring-up of modem, audio, and connectivity subsystems of Qualcomm’s wireless chipsets. In 2014, I spear-headed the effort of unifying software development, integration, and testing processes of QCA (Qualcomm Atheros) after Qualcomm's acquisition of Atheros in 2011. - Led and managed a team of engineers towards system software design, development, integration and SoC bring-up for mobile and IoT chipsets. - Drove the architecture, development, and commercialization of a highly power & memory- optimized Core Platform solution for 11ax WLAN and Multi-mode/Multi-function IoT chipsets. - Presented at the QC Architecture Summit to share innovations in debug infrastructure, power optimizations, and frameworks for building high performance, ultra-low memory products. - Designed a novel ROM/RAM patching framework and PCIe demand paging feature, allowing on-chip RAM reduction by over 80%. - Achieved >$4M hardware cost-savings by deploying an “emulation farm” where developers can efficiently time-share emulation resources for development and testing. Developed software product roadmap and code delivery strategies to maximize software leverage and maintenance. Skill set:- Technology leadership across complex, large-scaled projects in wireless SoCs- Proficient in embedded software development in highly memory optimized environments- Experienced in embedded RTOS in ARM processors and DSPs- SoC architecture- Highly knowledgeable through hands-on experience in CPU architecture and real-time operating systems - Excellent critical thinker with sharp debugging skills (debugged and resolved many customer launch-gating issues at customer site) - Highly experienced in platform bring-up (pre-silicon/post-silicon) - Proficient in using JTAG, logic analyzers and Oscilloscopes for debugging complex embedded system system stability issues
