Rob Logo Light

Hey, Robert here!

I'm an electrical engineer and computer scientist from the Bay Area building for the future of AI-driven hardware and software optimizations. On the side, I create videos about tech and productivity and projects for learning.

Experience

I specialize in RTL, ASIC design, transformers, compilers, and product design. But I am always learning new things. Here are some of the places I have worked.
