Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNihal Pasham is a Senior Systems Software Engineer in Bengaluru with a 16-year track record leading teams and building high-performance, secure systems across embedded, firmware, and accelerator domains. He specializes in Rust for hardware accelerators and secure embedded chips, with hands-on experience in GPU/HPC stacks (CUDA, Vulkan, WebGPU), GPU drivers, bare-metal firmware, and accelerated cryptography including HSMs and formal verification. His recent roles span Bosch and Enfabrica to NVIDIA, reflecting a blend of product security, edge AI/HPC, and heterogenous compute engineering. Nihal pairs systems-level rigor with practical compiler and tooling work (SPIR-V, WGPU, CubeCL), making him as comfortable authoring low-level drivers as optimizing end-to-end compute pipelines. Colleagues value his focus on rock-solid, auditable implementations and his willingness to trade notes on performance and security trade-offs. Outside work he shares technical deep-dives publicly, signaling a commitment to community knowledge-sharing as well as production-grade engineering.
