Senior🎓
Top SchoolKai Tay is a systems software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience blending embedded systems, robotics, and software to deliver practical automation and tooling. Currently at Arista Networks, his background spans ROS-based robotics integration, HDL IDE development and PCB design, and prototyping real-time ML-driven applications—showing a knack for turning research prototypes into demonstrated systems. A UCLA computer engineering graduate, he’s equally comfortable in low-level systems work and full-stack prototypes, and he led teams to build speech emotion detection and SLAM-enabled robot platforms. Outside of engineering, Kai channels the same creativity and precision into cooking, a passion that informs his iterative, human-centered approach to solving problems.
