Kernel Baseport & Secure Embedded Systems – Automotive & IoT Platforms

• Engineered kernel baseport support for Automotive chipsets, focusing on DCVS (Dynamic Clock and Voltage Scaling) enablement for dynamic power optimization, SCM interface integration for secure world interaction, and CPU EDAC driver development to ensure fault tolerance and system reliability.
• Demonstrated strong understanding in the Linux kernel scheduler by analyzing and customizing scheduling policies, task prioritization, and CPU affinity configurations to optimize latency and responsiveness for the real-time applications.
• Architected secure media encryption workflows using Inline Crypto Engine (ICE) hardware and TrustZone-based key management, enabling Full-disk and File-based encryption for user data protection.
• Collaborated with hardware, security, and multimedia teams to align kernel-level implementations with platform requirements, ensuring seamless integration across subsystems.

Board Bring-up & System Stability – Networking Platforms

• Led kernel migration and system upgrade efforts, integrating systemd services and container environments for enhanced boot-time performance and service orchestration.
• Developed a robust BOOT state machine to maintain platform stability across reboots, ensuring consistent device behavior in production environments.

Embedded Applications & Network Protocols – Consumer Electronics

• Developed native applications on Samsung Tizen OS, including system utilities like calculator and settings tailored for mobile devices.
• Implemented network protocols such as TCP, and UDP in 5286AC gateway devices.
