Work Experience

  • Jan 2020 - Sep 2020
    Senior Software Engineer
    PathPartner Technology, Bangalore
    • DSP Optimization for ML Workloads - Implemented SIMD-vectorized kernels using intrinsics to accelerate TensorFlow operations on Cadence Tensilica Vision DSPs, improving execution efficiency on resource-constrained edge devices.
  • Jul 2017 - Dec 2019
    Software Engineer
    PathPartner Technology, Bangalore
    • Face Detector for Driver Monitoring System - Built and deployed a Single-Shot Detector-based face detection system for driver monitoring SDK, integrated across Intel, ARM, Qualcomm, and Cadence platforms for real-time inference.
    • Edge Deployment of Deep Learning Models - Ported and optimized TensorFlow/Caffe models to edge devices using SNPE, OpenVINO, and ArmNN, enabling efficient on-device inference.
    • MLPerf-style Benchmarking - Benchmarked representative CNN architectures (e.g., ResNet, Inception) on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and Nano, analyzing latency, throughput, and energy trade-offs to inform deployment decisions on edge hardware.
    • Industrial Defect Detection - Developed a CNN-based visual inspection system for detecting defective vacuum-sealed food packages for real-time deployment in industrial production pipelines.
