Summary
Joey Bahary is a software engineer based in Austin with eight years of hands-on experience building embedded systems, firmware, and performance-oriented C++ software. A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign graduate, he has a strong foundation in hardware modeling and embedded ML, having developed SystemC models and optimized TfLite runtimes for hardware accelerators at Silicon Labs. He has built tooling and compilers to shrink flash footprints, led SIMD vectorization efforts for CMSIS-DSP, and benchmarked designs on Arm architectures to squeeze out CPU and runtime gains. Joey’s background spans full embedded stacks—from microcontroller web interfaces and OTA flashing to creating custom protocols and telemetry pipelines—showing a practical bent for shipping reliable, testable systems. He’s also mentored students as a course assistant, reflecting a taste for teaching and clear technical communication. Outside of work he blends electronics, programming, and digital art, bringing a creative, tinkerer’s perspective to engineering problems.
