Hi! I am Pola Shiva Kalyan Gupta, an Electronics and Communication Engineering graduate (Class of 2025) currently working as an Engineer at Qualcomm. My technical journey is rooted in a deep passion for the core semiconductor industry. Day-to-day, I work on complex embedded systems, dealing with RTOS, ARM architecture, and low-level driver development. Having recently navigated the transition from academia to the tech industry—including rigorous interview loops with top semiconductor giants—I know exactly what companies are looking for and how to build the right skill set to stand out. I am a strong believer in discipline and continuous growth. Beyond my 9-to-5, I am actively preparing to secure a single-digit rank in GATE and ESE 2027. I love sharing what I learn along the way, whether that is delivering career guidance sessions at my alma mater or talking about the future of AI in education. Outside of engineering, I am big on consistency. I maintain a strict six-day fitness split, actively manage my investment portfolio, and balance my technical side with creative writing—specifically rewriting Telugu song lyrics for my digital page! Whether you want to dive deep into firmware automation, need a strategic roadmap for your core tech placements, or just want to chat about building discipline and balancing multiple goals, I am excited to connect and help you level up!
