PROFILE

Pratyush Yadav (google)

Worked on core Linux kernel subsystems in the torvalds/linux and linux-riscv/linux repositories, focusing on memory management, argument parsing, and hardware interaction. Enhanced the robustness of the Kho subsystem by tightening argument parsing logic in C, preventing trailing input and improving validation for future extensions. Delivered kernel-level reliability improvements by refactoring KHO boot and restoration logic, adding validation safeguards, and synchronizing SPI register writes to address race conditions. Developed a new memfd allocation path for LUO preservation, exposing alloc_file() for secure file handling and fixing restoration-related memory leaks. Demonstrated expertise in C programming, kernel development, and system programming throughout.
