Top SchoolFernando Bermudez is a Staff Software Engineer in Berkeley with 15 years of experience bridging academic robotics research and production embedded systems. He earned a PhD from UC Berkeley where he developed biologically inspired perception and reinforcement learning solutions for robust indoor navigation and efficient legged locomotion, and designed a 1-gram sensing/control board that became the lab standard. After building real-time control systems for a NASA Maglev project as an aerospace undergrad, he spent five years writing real-time firmware for industrial controllers at Yaskawa and now drives software at Google. His expertise spans embedded firmware, sensor fusion, active perception, and adaptive control, with a track record of turning research prototypes into reproducible code and shared hardware. Colleagues know him for combining low-complexity, hardware-aware algorithms with a pragmatic focus on maintainable lab and industry codebases.
