Senior🎓
Top SchoolNeha Bhende is a graphics driver engineer with 10 years of experience designing and optimizing GPU driver stacks and shading language compilers, with deep hands-on expertise in OpenGL, Vulkan, and WDDM 2.0. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she has contributed across the stack from kernel-mode command support to user-mode extensions and GPU profiling, most recently as an individual contributor at Broadcom after nearly a decade at VMware. Her background includes implementing GL_ARB_copy_image, building GALLIUM_HUD performance queries, and automating graphics-driver test infrastructures—work that blends low-level systems programming with practical tooling and automation. She pairs a Master’s in Computer Science from Ohio State with industry experience at Imagination Technologies and Broadcom, bringing a strong foundation in graphics pipeline theory, testing frameworks, and cross-platform driver development. An uncommon strength is her track record of shipping both kernel and user-space driver features while also creating developer-facing automation and profiling tools that speed debugging and validation.
