✧ Built and led the firmware and diagnostics team at Cavium Networks (acquired by Marvell), recruiting and coaching team members.✧ Led the team to successfully develop and deliver boot loaders, ARM trusted firmware and diagnostics software for Cavium’s first multi-core ARM processor

Palo Alto, California, US

✧ Developed Wi-Fi software, driver and firmware for various platforms (Android, Windows Phone and Windows 8 etc.)✧ Optimized Wi-Fi stack to improve performance (throughput was 20% higher than competitors')✧ Developed and shipped the industry’s first cfg802.11 driver for Android (previously Android Wi-Fi driver was based on WEXT)✧ Led a task force to.

• Led Nemochips software team to develop BSP (board support package) for ARM based SoCs. Hands on BSP porting, device driver development and SOC bring-up while overseeing the engineering teamSelected Accomplishments:
• Wrote verification program in C and ARM assembly for various IPs such as SDRAM, PMU, NAND flash, SDIO, USB, UART, Timer, LCD, ISP, I2C, SPI and DMA etc.
• Developed internal boot loader that initializes CPU, clock, SDRAM, NAND flash and loads second stage boot loader from NAND flash, UART, USB and SD-Card
• ARM based SOCs bring up. Debugged various hardware modules.
• Developed device drivers and ported Windows CE 6.0 BSP to ARM based multimedia SoCs. (Modified the kernel source to make CE6 work on a SoC that doesn’t support thumb mode and BX instruction, as CE6 libraries were built.
• Ported Android Linux Kernel to ARM based SoCs and developed Linux device drivers. (As the first Android researcher, made the minimal Android system work within 1 month, enabling memory map, interrupt, timer, platform.
