Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMeenakshi Aggarwal is a Technical Lead with eight years of embedded systems and firmware experience, currently driving SHE and CAAM security features on NXP i.MX SoCs. She has a strong track record of upstreaming platform and driver work into UEFI, Linux and EDK II ecosystems, including MMC/SD, USB DWC3 and RNG/PRNG kernel drivers. Her background ranges from low-level boot and bring-up of multi-core Layerscape platforms to implementing I2C, RTC and peripheral drivers—work reflected in contributions to the high-profile tianocore/edk2 and edk2-platforms projects. Known for shipping silicon bring-up plans, mentoring juniors, and navigating upstream reviews, she blends hands-on driver development with cross-team coordination. Based in Uttar Pradesh, India, she pairs an MSc in Computer Science with long-standing telecom and middleware experience, and often surfaces subtle firmware-to-kernel interactions that others overlook.
