About

Hello! I am Kshitij Vaze, an embedded Linux and software enthusiast. I'm glad you found my little corner of the internet! My tryst with Embedded systems began back in my 3rd semester of college during my time at Team Automatons, and I am so glad that I never looked back! I have worked with ARM Cortex M-4 based 32-bit MCUs from ST Microelectronics, and SoCs like the BeagleBone Black, and now, working with Single-Board computers and Edge-AI Processors. I like to talk about all things software, with a keen interest in Embedded Software, Linux, Open Source, and of course, electronics! Apart from that, I am an avid guitarist, and a long-time Manchester United fan (The trauma is shared, but the loyalty is unshaken, lads). Feel free to hit me up incase you'd like to have a chat!
