About me
Embedded Software Development Engineer at Amazon, focused on real-time media streaming and low-level systems. Experienced in C/C++20, Embedded Linux and real-time, performance-critical systems.
At Amazon I took technical ownership of the streaming stack for hardware prototypes approaching launch, keeping them production-ready through targeted feature design and development, bug fixing, and post-launch observability. As streaming PoC for several Ring devices, I coordinated closely with other teams, engineers and stakeholders to prioritize issues and deliver reliable customer-facing releases.

Projects
ezrknpu
Automated installation of the libraries and programs needed to use the NPU found in the Rockchip RK3588 SoC. It runs on SBCs such as the Orange Pi 5 or Radxa Rock 5B, capable of accelerating ChatGPT-like LLMs through their NPU at under 10 W of power consumption.
Rockobot
Robot designed and built for a course during my third year of Computer Science. Won the class tournament, received an honors grade, and the robot was featured on the official Arduino blog.
