New Intel Xeon family processors technology development for cloud application.Main responsibilities: • Co-development of Intel's Xeon CPUs Confidential Compute technology, Trust Domain Extensions (TDX), with Cloud Service Provider (CSP) Google Cloud (GCP). • TDX components integration, Linux Kernel and Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) QEMU updates, to validate the TDX solution on GCP hardware platform. • C code debug of any issues found during GCP TDX feature development. • End-to-end solutions development that validates TDX functionality with CSP. • Verification, validation and performance tests, with Python automation. • GCP hardware platform management, from BIOS to Linux OS, with Linux Kernel customization for TDX, for any team inside Intel that needed a CSP platform to test on. • Creation of new verification and validation software for the new CPU features. • Integration of Linux modules for a new, under development CPU family, for validation process. • Linux Kernel patches backport, from new upstream versions to old internal Linux tes distro. • CPU microcode update, from BIOS and from OS.Accomplishments: • The co-development of TDX technology with GCP CSP allowed the launch of the first Confidential Computing instance using Intel CPUs in September 2024. • Development of a tool written in Go for validation purposes of a new Intel Xeon CPU functionality under development, that accelerated the development process and adoption of this technology by the CSP. • Backport of an upstream patches series to an older internal validation Linux distro. Without this backport, the validation of a feature couldn't start, accelerating the adoption time. Awards: • Division Recognition Awards - December 2023.

Equipment test software development in C for production line validation. • Development of a Linux embedded software application using C language, for production line validation, using the System on a Chip (SOC) APIs, to perform an automated equipment test with a go, no go result in the end. This application reduced the number needed of operators on the production line to perform the test during 12 hours, to one single operator that could prepare the test in a few minutes. Another benefit is that the test removed the human factor in the test result.
