Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndres Oliva is a Senior ML Systems Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of embedded and Bluetooth-centric firmware experience, now focused on real-time-safe AI inference systems in Rust. He has built production firmware for consumer audio products and IoT medical sensors, and led end-to-end development from bring-up to mass production across NXP, STM32, XMOS and Cadence HiFi platforms. At ai-coustics he designed and optimized AirTen, a Rust real-time AI inference engine, applying SIMD, memory and latency optimizations and integrating models on xcore.ai and HiFi DSPs. A pragmatic open-source contributor, he improved I2C robustness and testing for the embassy async Rust framework and added practical examples and build integrations to nrf-hal. Trained in embedded systems and ICT innovation and certified in technology entrepreneurship, he combines deep low-level systems skills with product-minded leadership. Notably, he bridges hardware and ML by making MCU accelerators and CI pipelines usable for rapid model experimentation and deployment.
