Principal Engineer/manager (Graphics systems) @ Qualcomm
About
With over 16 years of experience in graphics systems and video standards, I am currently a Principal Engineer/Manager at Qualcomm. My mission is to advance cutting-edge GPU technologies while fostering collaboration and creativity within a high-performing team. Passionate about delivering innovative solutions, I am committed to enhancing customer experiences and driving process efficiency through automation. By leveraging my expertise in graphics system architecture and silicon debug tools, I aim to support Qualcomm’s vision of shaping the future of multimedia and graphics technology. At Qualcomm, I contribute to the development of GPU shader processors, texture GPU blocks, and tools for silicon debug. My work includes GPU shader instruction set modeling, automation of workflows with Python and Perl, and creating GUI tools to improve user experience. I am dedicated to empowering my team to tackle complex challenges, streamline processes, and deliver impactful solutions in graphics systems.

Senior Engineer (Video Standards)
Qualcomm
• Multimedia R&D and Standards group. DSP, Video and Image coding/processing. • Develop new algorithm which are faster and/or better performing in C/C++ for Video codecs. • Contributed many video coding proposals to JVT/VCEG/MPEG. Developed coding technologies for SVC (Scalable Video Coding) and H.265(HEVC) , many of which adopted by the JVT "A Hybrid Video Coder Based on Extended Macroblock Sizes, Improved Interpolation, and Flexible Motion Representation". IEEE Transactions on Circuit and Systems for Video Technology, Vol 20, No. 12, December 2010 Many Patents Granted: few topics are: (1) Method to signal a Macroblock type. (2) Explicit Weights for B-Pictures. (3) Method for ME-Free Elimination or Alteration of Temporal Reference Dependencies in Video Transcoding. (4) Simplified Frame Level RD decision for B-Pictures (5) Vector based Fine Granularity Scalability (6) Improved Macroblock Header Coding for VLC (7) CAVLC Based Fine Granularity Scalability
