Senior🎓
Top SchoolLokesh Vutla is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in ML compilers with 14 years of deep embedded systems and Linux kernel experience, now at Google. He built and maintained bootloaders and low-level kernel drivers across OMAP, DRA7XX and AM43XX SoCs at Texas Instruments, led silicon bring-up efforts, and has been a U-Boot maintainer for multiple SoC families. His work spans hardware accelerators (SHA-512, RNG), GIC and PSCI fixes in the Jailhouse hypervisor, and practical experience with TRACE32/CCS debugging and upstream open-source contribution. At Samsung Semiconductor he progressed into senior technical leadership before returning to Google to focus on ML compiler infrastructure, blending systems-level troubleshooting with compiler and runtime concerns. Known for shipping production-ready firmware and kernel patches upstream, he pairs hands-on low-level expertise with a track record of cross-team coordination on complex silicon bring-up projects.

Contributions summary:Lokesh primarily contributed to the Jailhouse hypervisor, specifically focusing on ARM architecture-related code. Their work involved modifying the GIC (Generic Interrupt Controller) driver for ARM processors, including fixing interrupt routing and redistributor detection issues. They also implemented changes related to System Management Calls (SMC) and the handling of PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface) calls, demonstrating an understanding of low-level system interactions. Additionally, they added support for arch specific list registers access for GICv3 and added configurations for k3-am654 based system, including linux demo and root cell configuration.
