# Alakh Naik > Software Engineer with Embedded Systems Experience Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/alakh I am Alakh Naik - a graduate from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and building my profile toward becoming a Software Engineer and a Product Designer with a keen interest in AR/VR. I have worked primarily with Python but gravitated toward Frontend and Full-stack development with a lot of recent project experience in HTML, CSS, Javascript, React, and React Native with a little bit of iOS development. ## Work Experience ### Embedded Software Engineer @ SATED Space LLC Jan 2024 – Present | Boulder, Colorado, United States • Developed a Linux-based embedded control system using Python and QML on Raspberry Pi 4, integrating hardware functionalities for a NASA-finalist zero-gravity cooking device. • Maintained the hardware interface using GPIO for sensor integration and device control, implementing TCP/IP protocols for real-time data transmission and the codebase for features like temperature control, timer management, and G-force adjustment in zero-gravity conditions. • Implemented comprehensive system logging using Linux command-line operations and shell scripting. Technologies: Python, Linux (Debian), QML, GPIO, TCP/IP, Bitbucket, Shell Scripting ### IOT App Developer (iOS/React Native) @ Tynt Technologies, Inc. Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Boulder, Colorado, United States Worked with a team on a software development project to create an iOS app and prototype React Native app that interfaced over Bluetooth low-energy with Tynt's electronically controllable windows. Phase 1: Led the redesign and development of the Tynt IoT iOS app, transitioning from UIKit to SwiftUI and engineering a new backend and frontend to work with a single Tynt window with Bluetooth Low Energy in 6-8 weeks, using Jira for project management and task tracking. Phase 2: Conducted UX research and designed UI solutions for a cross-platform app, using Figma to create 10+ storyboards and wireframes, working with feedback from the marketing team and engineering team to increase client satisfaction with re-designs. • Decided on a React Native-based IoT solution utilizing Typescript(Javascript) and CSS for window tint control and created a multi-window connection interface that connects to windows and is compatible with smart window systems for automated tint adjustment. • Collaborated and extended on a modular backend while focusing on frontend components for easier access to a Tinting interface. • Improved the design and connected smart bulbs to the Bluetooth interface as well as allowing the user to create a Smart Home System. • Implemented data logging at intervals to help the hardware debug and improve tinting and lighting efficiency. ### IT Consultant @ Front Range Community College Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Longmont, Colorado, United States ### Freelance Web Developer @ Unknown Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Kaza, Himachal Pradesh, India • Established a digital footprint for a tourism company, a local hostel (Manali), and bloggers in remote areas of Himachal Pradesh using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, crafting static websites that increased online inquiries and engagement. • The solution had to be simple, work offline, and be easy for the locals to maintain. Created a template website that could load quickly even on slow connections. For updates, Set up a system where owners could send changes via SMS when the internet was down. But an important part was to keep the updates as simple as uploading images or updating information which made it easier for these businesses to maintain websites in the long term. • Overcame connectivity challenges by embedding an inquiry-to-text API for enhanced client communication, improving service efficiency. • Managed project timelines and deliverables and trained the business owners remotely. ### Co-Founder @ TheFenomenon Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | Mumbai, Maharashtra, India ## Education ### Computer Science University of Colorado Boulder ### Penn State University ### High School(Junior and Senior Year) KC College ### School St.Xavier's Boys' Academy ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/alakh-naik-72804b103 --- Source: https://flows.cv/alakh JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/alakh/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
