Profile

Applied AI plus hardware-rooted systems engineering

Embedded AI, robotics, and intelligent systems engineer with 9+ years of experience across embedded electronics, industrial automation, real-time control, computer vision, and applied AI workflows. Amir builds complete systems spanning STM32 and ESP32 firmware, PCB design, ROS2 robotics, industrial perception, LLM/RAG diagnostic workflows, and deployment-oriented automation. His work connects low-level hardware with production-facing intelligence: sensors, control loops, industrial communication, AI inference, troubleshooting workflows, and deployment validation. He brings founder-level ownership, research experience, and hands-on engineering depth across the full stack of intelligent machines.
