Experience

1. Senior System Software Architect

   Intel

   Apr 2022 — Present · Hillsboro, OR, US

   Responsible for Validation Architecture of Intel’s leading nextgeneration Workstations (HEDT) Market Segment and Client IPU.As part of Intel Platform Update,Intel identifies security vulnerabilities that could potentially impact certain PCs, servers, and IoT platforms.Due to the highly integrated nature of hardware, firmware, and software, product updates often require a lot of validation and integration between Intel and Intel’s ecosystem of partners participating in the coordinated vulnerability handling process. Ecosystem partners include operating systems vendors, cloud service providers, independent firmware vendors, original equipment manufacturers and systems integrators who release validated updates through direct channels to their customers. The Intel Platform Update process facilitates the ecosystem coordination and vulnerability handling process, leading to the release of validated updates.
