Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBuro Mookerji is a firmware and systems engineer with 13 years of experience building embedded and cloud-connected products for clean energy and navigation applications from San Francisco. He has led firmware and software efforts at startups and scale-ups—including lead roles at Swift Navigation, Span, and now Copper—bridging low-level embedded C/ARM work with higher-level infrastructure and navigation APIs. His background spans academic research in nanophotonics and quantum optics at MIT through to production RTK GPS and home-energy products, giving him a rare mix of physics-first intuition and pragmatic product delivery. Buro frequently owns full lifecycle concerns—architecture, performance, monitoring and triage—on tight timelines and has shipped systems that combine real-time constraints with distributed backends. He maintains an active personal site and GitHub presence that reflect curiosity beyond product code, and his career shows a consistent pattern of turning research-grade ideas into fielded hardware and services.
