PROFILE

Sonal Santan

Worked on the Xilinx/XRT repository over four months, focusing on codebase refactoring, feature development, and build system stabilization. Applied C++ and CMake expertise to improve code readability, performance, and maintainability, introducing const-correctness and string_view optimizations. Developed in-memory ELF object construction with enhanced Python bindings, enabling seamless integration and automation for ELF workflows. Hardened HIP integration by refining kernel argument handling and updating build configurations to improve discoverability for HIP-enabled builds. Addressed build failures on RHEL by fixing CMake configurations and aligning submodule dependencies, ensuring reliable builds. Demonstrated depth in low-level programming, embedded systems, and performance optimization throughout.
