Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHåkon Sandsmark is a technical leader with 15 years of experience building real-time embedded systems and machine learning infrastructure, currently leading teams at Cisco in Oslo. His career blends low-level C/C++ work on DSPs and multi-core platforms with ML-focused roles—at Graphcore he developed frameworks for the IPU, and at Cisco he implemented Webex Assistant including wake-word ML models and ASR integrations. He has repeatedly redesigned audio processing architectures (moving to graph-based dataflow with automatic parallelization) and shipped codec and platform support across heterogeneous systems. Comfortable across Python and C/C++ and versed in test-driven development and asynchronous programming, he pairs hands-on engineering with architectural thinking. A former co-founder and long-term collaborator in both academic and industrial settings, he brings practical signal-processing expertise informed by a strong communications engineering background.
