Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSteven Cheng is a systems-focused software engineer with 8 years of experience designing firmware and performance tooling for silicon and SoC platforms. Currently driving next-generation Wi‑Fi firmware architecture and a new build and patching system at MediaTek, he doubled effective firmware memory utilization through a re‑architected layout. Previously at Google he improved Android performance profiling (simpleperf) and visualized SoC power/event counters to guide post‑silicon optimizations for real workloads like camera and Chrome. A strong open‑source contributor, he has backend work on a self‑hosting C optimizing compiler and C lab tooling that added language features and fixed low‑level bugs and vulnerabilities. He pairs deep kernel- and compiler-level knowledge with practical delivery across AP and mobile platforms, and his academic background includes an outstanding undergraduate GPA and ongoing master’s work in computer programming. Colleagues describe him as the kind of engineer who surfaces subtle memory and performance wins that unlock product capabilities.
