Senior🎓
Top SchoolShaunak Saha is a firmware and systems architect with 11+ years building secure boot, SoC firmware, and kernel solutions for ARM and Intel AI/ML platforms, currently working on CPU virtual platforms at Qualcomm. He designs end-to-end secure firmware stacks (TF-A/TF-M, MCUboot, U-Boot, EDK II, OP-TEE) and implements power and system management using PSCI, SCMI, PLDM/SPDM and PMC integrations. His kernel expertise spans eBPF, ACPI, scheduler optimizations (EAS/PELT/DVFS/FIE) and advanced debugging tooling, and he has delivered measurable power and boot-time improvements on Intel platforms. Shaunak is a hands-on contributor to coreboot (notably Intel PMC/Tiger Lake work) and long-time maintainer of the DDD debugger front-end, reflecting deep open-source roots. He mentors cross-functional teams through architecture to silicon validation and bridges firmware, hardware, compiler and runtime concerns. Based in California, he also experiments with RISC-V microkernel projects, showing a continued interest in low-level research and prototyping.
