Sonal Santan contributed to the Xilinx/XRT repository by delivering three features and a bug fix over three months, focusing on low-level C++ and Python development. She refactored the codebase to improve readability and performance, introducing const-correctness and string_view usage to enhance API safety and efficiency. Sonal implemented in-memory ELF object construction with extended Python bindings, enabling seamless scripting and automation for ELF workflows. She also strengthened HIP integration by refining kernel argument handling and updating CMake build logic for better discoverability. Her work demonstrated depth in build systems, embedded systems, and performance optimization, resulting in more robust and maintainable code.

In July 2025, focused on hardening HIP integration in XRT and improving build discoverability for HIP-enabled configurations. Two primary deliverables were completed for Xilinx/XRT, reinforcing stability for developers targeting HIP workloads and improving out-of-the-box discoverability for HIP integration.
