Over a three-month period, contributed to the qualcomm-linux/meta-qcom repository by developing and refining boot firmware provisioning and release workflows for Qualcomm platforms. Focused on establishing a repeatable, flat-build friendly boot process using UEFI standards, the work streamlined hardware onboarding and simplified platform maintenance. Leveraging skills in Linux kernel development, build system management, and configuration management, implemented tech-pack based firmware releases with enhanced versioning and build-label strategies. Python and conf were used to automate build and deployment processes, resulting in improved traceability, reduced deployment risk, and easier maintenance of multi-SKU boot binaries across embedded systems and firmware development environments.
