As a Software / Firmware Engineer with 3+ years of experience in the design and development of embedded systems, I am looking for opportunities which excite me in the broad domains of software and embedded systems - ranging from low-level microcontroller and DSP firmware development to application software development and UI design. I relish the design challenges offered by harsh and resource-constrained environments and have experience developing optimized low-cost, low-power systems. I am excited by developments and opportunities in the Internet of Things revolution. My interests and experience span over the fields of robotics, signal and image processing, and underwater instrumentation. My biggest motivating factor, the reason I work, is the thrill of creating, a design, which solves a real world problem, address a real world need, makes an impact. And I am constantly chasing that thrill. I am driven by challenges, by questions that nudge me to think outside the box, by problems that seek creative solutions. I believe that human minds, working together, are capable of superhuman feats, and am excited by opportunities that help me be part of, lead or inspire such adventures.
