Helping you accelerate your career in Embedded System journey.

Meet the Author & Mentor

A proud IITian and passionate embedded systems engineer with over 12 years of hands-on industry experience, I have designed and delivered mission-critical firmware and hardware solutions that power real-world products across the globe right from your watches to Satellite chipsets.

From developing low-level Linux kernel device drivers to architecting end-to-end product designs, I have worked at the heart of innovation in some of the world's top-tier semiconductor giants — Analog Devices India(ADI), Intel, Cisco, and Qualcomm as Embedded System Engineer.

My industrial expertise spans multiple high-impact domains:

• Medical Healthcare (life-saving diagnostic and monitoring devices)

• Consumer Electronics (smart, reliable everyday gadgets)

• Industrial Automation (robust, real-time control systems)

• Silicon & AI (cutting-edge edge-AI and SoC integration)

• Mission:

Today, as an entrepreneur and dedicated educator, I am on a mission to bridge the gap between college theory and industry reality. Through XsiliconLabs, I have mentored thousands of ECE/EEE engineers as well as experienced professionals — helping them escape support roles and land high-paying core embedded jobs at companies like Bosch, Continental, Tata Elxsi, RedHat, Herman, Samsung, Qualcomm and beyond.

If you're tired of debugging someone else's code in a non-core job and ready to build products that matter, you're in the right place.
