Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristos Profentzas is an Embedded Systems Engineer with a PhD in Computer Science and eight years of hands-on experience building secure, real-time systems at the intersection of Edge AI and applied cryptography. He has driven R&D from academic prototypes to production-grade secure boot and cryptographic solutions for automotive and space-grade RISC-V platforms, including HSM integration, post-quantum crypto work, and FIPS-aligned designs. His background spans embedded C/C++, Rust/Go experimentation, FPGA validation, and deploying YOLO-based Edge AI on constrained hardware for autonomous drones. Comfortable in both research and industry, he has built IDS and cryptographic libraries for Volvo and led sensor-fusion, RTOS-based drone projects at RISE, blending rigorous security practices with practical performance tuning. Notably, his early career includes securing tactical comms in Greek Special Forces and freelance web/cybersecurity work, giving him rare operational resilience alongside deep technical expertise. Based in Gothenburg, he focuses on making secure, auditable embedded AI systems that work under real-world constraints.
