A few words about me

“Not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness.”

J.M. Barrie

Until now, in my life, I change from active moments with a lot of variety, challenges and improvisations, to moments of tranquility and stability, being difficult to stay in a place during a long time. I consider myself a tolerant and respectful person with open mind and quite honest. I really like to listen people stories and backgrounds and their different experiences around the world.

Interests & Hobbies

I'm passionate about technology and human behavior, both determine almost all my interests and hobbies:

  • Visiting new places
  • Meeting people
  • Having new experiences
  • Hiking and Biking
  • Web Developing
  • Computer Gamming
  • Manga and Anime

Work Experience

"To give real service, you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money."

Sir.M.Vishvesvaraya

DDR Software Systems Engineer, Qualcomm.

  • Bring up, Initialization, and Enablement of DDR Sub System Features for Chip Station Modem Devices from Pre-Silicon to Post Silicon Phase in Secondary Boot Loader (XBL) by integrating DDR System Firmware through DDR Drivers.
  • Developed DDR Drivers for DDR Training Data restore and DDR Debug tests in Flash-less Chipsets for First-Time in Qualcomm Wildcat Hierarchy Chipsets.
  • Tool Development for running DDR Debug Tests which includes collection of Eye Plots, Memory functionality, and Parameters tuning on Flash-less Chipsets.

DDR Software Systems Associate Engineer, Qualcomm.

  • Enabling DDR Sub System Features for Value Tier Chipsets which include Snapdragon 600 and 400 Series in Post Slillicon to CS Phase.
  • Adding DDR Debug tests support in the XBL Level to validate the Health of the DRAM Part used in these Chipsets with NAND, EMMC, and UFS Flash Storage
  • Resolving DDR Sub System-related customer issues by working in collaboration with various teams like DDR PHY, DDR SVE, ICB, NoC, etc

Interim Engineering Intern at DDR Software Systems, Qualcomm.

DDR Eye Health Classifier Tool

  • Built Algorithms to map the relation of Vref and CDC of DDR PHY into 2D Array Data called DDR Eye Plot for enabled DDR Frequencies and Read/Write operations on DDR Sub_System of a referenced Chipset.
  • Generated Synthetic data that mimicked the Eye Plot data from scratch to get Eye Plot samples of Specific Classes from it.
  • Developed a Multiclass Learning Model using CNN from the data generated, and built a framework for getting the summary of belonging class and feature parameters of Eye Plot on Test SoCs.
