Amit Katz is a pragmatic software engineer based in Israel with 8 years of professional experience transitioning from mechanical and CFD R&D into embedded firmware development. Trained as a mechanical engineer (B.S., M.Sc. from Technion) he brings deep domain knowledge in fluid, heat and stress simulation, hands-on prototyping, and design-for-manufacturing to firmware projects—particularly Bluetooth and communication protocol stacks at Cardo Systems. His background in semiconductor lab operations and Six Sigma–informed project work gives him a methodical approach to diagnostics, validation, and delivering robust embedded solutions. Fluent in English and Hebrew, Amit blends low-level systems thinking with practical mechanical intuition, making him effective at bridging hardware and software teams. Off-hours curiosity includes exploring systems-level software—aptly summarized on GitHub as stumbling on a GPU driver in Rust—indicating a taste for unconventional technical challenges.
