Worked on applied research on several technologies, from building JIT compilers to web browsers to ML-driven malware detection. Led the work in transforming research into commercial products, working closely with product mgmt/strategy. Worked closely with Qualcomm Ventures to evaluate relevant deals.

Built several iOS & OS X products from 0 => 1, including Secure Enclave, Data Protection, Dynamic Tracing, and many more. Brought to life many generations of beloved devices, including phones, pods, pads & pucks (tv), to market. Built foundational technologies that powered many platforms, from 64b arm, llvm compilers, encrypted filevault/data protection across all devices and cloud. Built critical kernel & system capabilities from early iOS through iOS 5, from developing the bootloader to debugging issues on the factory floor. Built deep instrumentation and tracing capabilities within the kernel that were exposed to 3rd party developers through XCode, paving the path for performant and secure mobile apps.

Built networking and operating systems software for VoIP products. One of the earliest developments of RTXC and dual-core arm Linux bring up. Built BSPs, device drivers, and essential validation software for SoC design verification. Developed several networking protocols and DSP algorithms to support the mass adoption of VoIP and transforming telephony across the globe. I also had the opportunity to build a new India design center in Hyderabad and integrate it with global operations.
