Intel Corporation

• Building AI-driven automation for silicon validation and owning the SoC firmware update architecture that avoids costly (~$100M/year) fleet reboots for cloud service providers.
• Own the TDX domain — responsible for TD and VM-preserving updates, power-on activities, and validation across all project phases.
• Contributed to two generations of Python-based automation frameworks for Xeon processors, improving test coverage and execution efficiency across multiple domains.
• Led Simics-based pre-silicon automation, reducing validation and debugging effort by up to 90%.
• Built tooling for automatic failure analysis and initial log review/isolation, plus monitoring and visualization dashboards.
• Led systems bring-up activities, configuring BKCs for SUT, BMC, CPLD, and SPI Flash devices; performed root cause analysis on critical issues.

Intel Corporation

• Created and automated test content across Boot, Accelerator, Security, and Virtualization domains for Intel Xeon Dense post-silicon validation — contributed 80+ test cases toward a 1,000+ milestone before Alpha release.
• Led repository migration from Idaville to Granite Rapids Dense, reducing effort by 30% and increasing new-testcase productivity.
• Reviewed 200+ code and pull requests from co-developers, collaborating with cross-functional teams to elevate code quality.
• Introduced a generic utility class for in-band/out-of-band testing, achieving zero manual intervention with high reliability in automated runs.

Madras Scientific Research Foundation

• Implemented machine learning and deep learning algorithms for data analysis and pattern identification.

ABCOM Information Systems Pvt. Ltd.

• Worked on clustering algorithms and assisted in writing a technical book on applied neural networks.
