Linux BSP · Device Drivers · ARM Cortex · Embedded C/C++
Embedded Software Engineer — drivers, BSP, and systems close to the metal.
I work on the software layer between hardware and OS — device drivers, BSP bring-up, I2C/SPI/UART protocols, and system validation. Currently at LG Soft India, shipping DDC/CI driver flows across ARM and Intel SoCs.
About Me
EE graduate who moved deep into embedded software
I studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Alagappa Chettiar GCET, Karaikudi, graduating in 2023 with a CGPA of 8.42. My transition into embedded software was driven by a fascination with the software-hardware interface.
Current Focus: Shipping stable, low-latency firmware and drivers at LG Soft India. I specialize in the software layer between hardware and operating systems, ensuring seamless peripheral communication across ARM and Intel architectures.

Experience
Where I have worked
LG Soft India, Bengaluru · Contract via Duru Cooperation
- Write and maintain DDC/CI device drivers over I2C on ARM and Intel SoCs.
- Handle BSP bring-up and hardware interface debugging on Linux and macOS.
- Build validation suites for calibration, conformance, and acceptance flows (ASPICE-aligned).
- Reduced embedded app memory usage from ~80% to ~10% through profiling and buffer cleanup.
- Work inside Gerrit code review and Jenkins release pipelines across 10+ display variants.
Emertxe Information Technologies, Bengaluru
- Intensive training in embedded C/C++, Linux internals, system programming, and ARM Cortex-M driver development.
- Built projects including a bare-metal car blackbox (event data recorder), search optimisation, calculators, stack and tree data structures.
