Embedded Software Engineer with 4+ years developing Linux-based BMC and platform software in C, C++, Go, and Python. My work spans U-Boot/SPL and Device Tree bring-up, DDR/EMIF, BIOS/UEFI, Redfish/RBAC, eBPF telemetry, secure boot, and device discovery.
At Cisco, I build embedded Linux features for ARM64 BMC systems, from authorization and secure provisioning to telemetry and service discovery. I care about understanding what the hardware and software are doing, then making the result reliable and diagnosable.
I graduated from BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus with a B.E. in Electronics and Instrumentation. This site collects my systems work, experiments, and engineering notes.
> Embedded Linux, platform software, and hardware interfaces.
Developing Linux-based BMC and platform software: C-based RBAC across Redfish, FastCGI and PAM; Tetragon/eBPF telemetry and command-injection blocking; mDNS discovery; UEFI Secure Boot key provisioning; KVM framebuffer bring-up; and MQTT power and thermal monitoring.
Built 10+ end-to-end features for a 10k+ user platform, added Selenium automation, and integrated Google Merchant Center and Meta Marketplace.
> experiments in boot flows, memory, and real-time hardware.
Built an SPL/U-Boot boot flow with a TFTP-loaded kernel and Device Tree, NFS root filesystem, and UART debugging. Explored AM335x clock, DDR PHY, and EMIF settings, then used mtest and memtester to characterize memory behavior. Also worked with Buildroot/BusyBox, kernel modules, and real-time scheduling.

Developed a PRU state machine to drive an RGB matrix and connected Linux to the 200 MHz PRU with remoteproc and RPMsg. Measured output with a 24 MHz logic analyzer, verifying approximately 1.25 μs bit periods.

> software that meets the hardware
I build reliable Linux-based platform software where firmware, hardware interfaces, security, and operator workflows meet. My work spans embedded BMC systems, boot and memory bring-up, device telemetry, and practical debugging close to the hardware.
Reliability and correctness in low-level systems
Debugging from observable evidence
Security built into platform interfaces
Practical engineering across hardware and software
Embedded Linux BMC software, RBAC, eBPF telemetry, secure boot, device discovery, KVM, and hardware monitoring.
Shipped product features and marketplace integrations for a 10k+ user platform.
Graduated August 2022 · CGPA 8.01/10.
