Embedded Software Engineer
艾佑司Ayush Kumar
Embedded Software Engineer · Edge AI & Autonomous Systems
Embedded software engineer focused on production-grade autonomous systems—edge AI inference, real-time UAV pipelines, and industrial data platforms. I integrate hardware, firmware, and ML into deployable systems with measurable latency and reliability outcomes. Collaborative, adaptable, and driven to ship solutions that work in the field—not just in simulation.
