Chirag Shilwant
I am a Systems Engineer at Texas Instruments, where I’ve been contributing for the past 2.5 years. My primary focus lies in building custom Embedded Linux Distributions for TI Arm-based microprocessors using the powerful Yocto Project. This involves crafting tailored Linux systems for various embedded applications, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.
My journey began with a strong educational foundation - I completed my master’s degree in Computer Science from IIIT Hyderabad. Armed with this knowledge, I’ve been passionate about bridging the gap between hardware and software, creating robust solutions that empower embedded devices.
As an embedded enthusiast, I’m constantly exploring new challenges and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in this dynamic field.
