# Shubhang K. > SDE @ Ampere Computing | Arm | Penn State | LF Speaker Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shubhangk I’m a Software Engineer at Ampere Computing, where I focus on Linux kernel performance, scheduler optimization, and scalability for High Performance Computing (HPC) based on ARM Architecture. My work involves upstream kernel contributions, performance benchmarking, and optimizing the scheduler to deliver energy efficient, high throughput computing on next generation cloud platforms. Before joining Ampere, I was part of ARM’s Central Engineering team, where I developed virtualization frameworks for Mali GPUs, optimized Xen Hypervisor for ARM based architectures and engineered BSP integrations that improved boot performance and Multi Guest efficiency across embedded and automotive platforms. At Penn State, I completed my M.S. in Informatics (GPA 4.0), conducting research on Human Centered Cybersecurity and Behavioural Analytics. I also served as a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant at the EE/IoT Learning Factory, leading embedded systems projects and developing scalable IoT frameworks for real time sensor networks. I’m passionate about operating systems, distributed computing and performance engineering, where low level optimization meets large scale system design. Technically fluent in C/C++, Go, Python, Rust, and Java, with deep expertise in Linux internals, container orchestration, and micro service architectures, I thrive on solving complex performance challenges that push the limits of efficiency and reliability. #Topics Interested - Operating Systems | Data Science | Artificial intelligence | Problem Solving | Product Development | Information Security | Distributed Systems | Scalable Compute | Kernel / Hypervisor | Media Platforms ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Ampere Jan 2025 – Present | Santa Clara, California, United States Linux Kernel Development - Scalability & Performance, AI Inferencing & HPC Platforms ### Graduate Research Assistant @ The Penn State Learning Factory Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | University Park, Pennsylvania, United States • Advanced research in embedded systems and IoT at the Penn State Learning Factory. • Conducted application-based teaching sessions using tools like myDAQ and Arduino Uno. • Guided undergraduates through hands-on projects, including wearable technology. • Led a team of Teaching Assistants, ensuring safety compliance and effective inventory management. ### Technical Intern, Software Engineering @ Ampere Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Santa Clara, California, United States • Analyzed and optimized Linux kernel performance, focusing on IPC scheduling and cache utilization. • Developed enhancements in memory management and kernel diagnostics, contributing to kernel v6.11-rc1. • Managed project progress using JIRA and version control systems, ensuring timely delivery of patches. ### IT Cyber Security Specialist @ Penn State University Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | State College, Pennsylvania, United States • Conducted in-depth data privacy research focusing on privacy-enhancing technologies and e-contracting interfaces. • Designed and implemented secure web application architecture using Django, HTML, JavaScript, and MongoDB. • Collaborated with stakeholders to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations, enhancing user trust and security. • Optimized database performance and conducted thorough testing, resulting in a robust and responsive application. ### Software Engineer III @ Arm Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | EMEA In this role, I played a crucial part in the development of cutting-edge embedded software at Arm.
