About

I am a Hardware Development and Validation Engineer with over 15 years of experience in designing and validating reference platforms and SOC's. I have led and mentored a team of engineers to deliver hardware products. My work and opportunities in my past life have helped me grow professionally, both as a technical contributor and as a leader. In my current role at Google, I am responsible for designing and validating new hardware platforms. I also lead a team of engineers who are responsible for developing and testing new hardware products. I am passionate about using my skills and experience to make a positive impact on the world. I believe that hardware is essential for developing new technologies that can improve people's lives. I recently completed my Master's in Computer Science with major focus on computational robotics and machine learning. I believe that these technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work. I am excited to explore how hardware and software can be combined to create new AI solutions that can make the world a better place.
