About Me

I am an engineer currently working in Texas Instruments, Bangalore, India. I currently lead the Boot ROM development team that caters to TI’s Jacinto, Sitara MPU and Sitara MCU product lines. Prior to this role, I designed and implemented firmware for the secure enclave on TI’s current generation of automotive chips. I have also worked on Display drivers/applications and boot time optimizations on the previous generation devices. I have designed and implemented the software radio framework in use across multiple generations of TI’s automotive processors.

At my previous employer, Sarnoff India, I worked on porting computer vision algorithms to DSP. My alma-mater is Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
