PROFILE

Gowri Ramshankar

Gowri Ramshankar contributed to secure firmware development by enabling PSA Crypto support for MCUBoot on the MAX32657 platform within the zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m repository. Using C and CMake, Gowri configured the secure boot path to utilize software-based cryptography, aligning with PSA Crypto requirements and documenting the process for reproducibility. In the zephyrproject-rtos/mcuboot repository, Gowri improved maintainability by removing direct mbedtls header dependencies from image validation code, leveraging bootutil abstractions to simplify future changes. These efforts demonstrated a strong grasp of embedded systems, build systems, and dependency management, resulting in cleaner, more robust firmware codebases.
