Summary
Mukesh Pilaniya is a Senior Software Engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in Linux kernel, ARM bring-up, and virtualization for SoC platforms, currently driving platform and KVM infrastructure at Qualcomm. He has delivered measurable system improvements—most notably upstreaming LZ4-based hibernation compression into Kernel 6.1 and cutting restore times by over 13%—and implemented multi-core decompression in bootloader hibernation. Mukesh brings end-to-end expertise from device tree and build-system bring-up to integrating QEMU, libvirt, virt-manager and Virtio backends into Yocto for Qualcomm SoCs. His background spans cloud-native and backend technologies (Go, Java, Python, Docker, Kafka) from earlier roles, giving him a rare blend of low-level kernel performance tuning and higher-level systems engineering. Based in Bengaluru, he pairs an MTech from IIIT Bangalore with a track record of shipping cross-team, upstream-friendly kernel work that bridges device bring-up and production virtualization.
