Final-year CS student and open source contributor. Selected for the Linux Kernel Mentorship Program (LFX '26) and Google Summer of Code at BeagleBoard.org — writing C/C++ for Linux-hosted hardware testing with patches upstreamed to mainline. This blog is where I work things out in writing.
Work
I work on Linux kernel internals, distributed systems, and open source infrastructure. This site is where I write about what I'm building, reading, and debugging — technical notes without the fluff.
Career
Selected for the Linux Kernel Mentorship Program under maintainer mentorship. Contributing to kernel bug triage, fixes, and upstream patch submission — building on mainline-upstreamed work from Google Summer of Code.
Selected from 40,000+ global applicants. Wrote production C/C++ for Linux-hosted hardware testing: I2C bus scan, EEPROM dispatch, mikroBUS ClickID auto-detection. 30% performance improvement; patches CI-tested and upstreamed to mainline with DCO sign-off.
Built ESP32 firmware in Embedded C for an IoT relay control system with a real-time monitoring dashboard. Shipped to 50+ homes, cutting energy use 25%. Designed a firmware API layer keeping hardware and application layers independently deployable.
