Profile: https://flows.cv/preetam

I am a professional with high ambitions & tactical thinking. Have been fortunate in working in cutting edge consumer technologies like Smartphones, Tablets and autonomous robots. I have worked primarily on Linux Device Drivers, Low Level and middleware Software. Its a very interesting area to work in as you are working at a level right between the hardware and the application software giving you a very broad perspective of the overall system architecture. On the flip side the expectation of quality and testing are much high as the overall stability of the system often depends on the codes you write at this level.

I have worked on many high and low end products with wonderful teams full of hardcore technical experts such as the development teams of Nook, Kindle, Samsung galaxy and the botvac series of robots. I have worked on modules like Audio, Power Management, PMIC, Sensors, etc. I have also been working on QNX systems in robot platforms. I write firmware for microcontrollers as well and work on LDS (LiDaR technology).
