👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAkash Gajjar is a seasoned embedded software engineer with ~9 years of experience specializing in Linux BSP, driver development, and pre-/post-silicon validation for custom SoCs. He has deep hands-on expertise in DRM/KMS display controllers, MIPI camera and LVDS bring-ups, video/JPEG codec initialization, and GPU bring-up across Mali and Imagination Rogue platforms. An active contributor to upstream Linux (13 mainline patches) and a U-Boot board maintainer, he also ports Ubuntu and Yocto BSPs for ARM/ARM64 and RISC-V heterogeneous platforms. His work spans secure boot and trusted execution environments, CI/CD test automation, power optimization, and low-level performance verification of GPU 2D/3D engines. Comfortable with reverse-engineering and system-level debugging (strace, ltrace, valgrind, callgrind), he combines strong C and OS fundamentals with practical RTOS experience on FreeRTOS and i.MXRT hardware. Based in Hyderabad, he brings a pragmatic blend of upstream stewardship and board bring-up know-how that shortens time-to-silicon for complex multimedia systems.
