Summary
👤
SeniorSudhir Kohalli is a Principal Engineer based in Sunnyvale with nearly a decade of focused experience building Wi‑Fi and embedded networking software, particularly across 802.11 protocol stacks and device drivers. He has driven firmware and driver modernization at companies like Sonos, Broadcom, Qualcomm and Marvell, delivering Wi‑Fi 6 integrations, multichannel STA/AP concurrency, and FTM positioning features that improved throughput, latency, and device versatility. Comfortable across firmware, Yocto/BitBake-based embedded Linux, and driver integration, he has repeatedly shipped telemetry, IOCTLs and driver patches that kept products stable in real-world deployments. His work often bridges vendor collaboration and field debugging—transitioning interfaces (SDIO→PCIe), resolving static-analysis defects, and automating firmware config generation to cut development friction. Known for translating complex 802.11 specs into production code, he also has a track record of training teams on wpa_supplicant/hostapd to accelerate adoption and reduce support load. Pragmatic and hands‑on, he blends deep protocol expertise with a talent for operationalizing wireless features in consumer products.
