About Me

Multi-skilled engineer with a passion for building innovative solutions

I'm a Systems Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience building production systems at the intersection of hardware and software. My journey has taken me through some of the most innovative companies in tech, from autonomous vehicle pioneers like Waymo to automotive innovators like Brembo.

My expertise spans the full stack of embedded systems development: from writing device drivers and RTOS firmware to deploying AI/ML models on edge devices. I'm particularly passionate about sensor fusion, computer vision, and building systems that operate reliably in safety-critical environments.

When I'm not engineering solutions, you'll find me contributing to open-source projects, mentoring aspiring engineers, or exploring the latest in AI and embedded systems technology. I believe in the power of technology to transform industries and improve lives.
