Founding engineering team at Winix. Built intelligent Wireless Solutions and Platforms that enabled our wireless surround sound speakers, wireless cameras, trackers, and many IoT products using our self-reconfiguring mesh network stack. As a ODM our problem statement was on how soon can an OEM have enterprise-grade, stable and reliable wireless products and go to market. We were a three member initial team with one vision of building great electronics out of India. My most contributed areas: firmware and software development for self reconfigurable wifi mesh network, device discovery for easy and secure commissioning, command and control, data acquisitionl, secure firmware upgrades, responsible for end-to-end development (board bringup, device drivers, userspace applications, web dashboards, android applications) and technology leadership and team mentoring.
