Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarlis Goba is a pragmatic co-founder and problem solver with 16+ years of hands-on experience across firmware, embedded systems, ML/NLP, DSP and physical simulation, grounded in physics, mathematics and complex systems science. He has taken projects from concept to TRL‑6 prototype—leading guidance, control, CFD and sensor integration for a small cUAV missile—and has shipped production firmware for 3D ToF imagers and real‑time audio DSP chains. His work spans bare‑metal embedded C/C++, Python and deep learning frameworks, with notable expertise in building performance‑optimized algorithms for constrained, noisy sensors. A radio amateur and hardware tinkerer, he authored an FT4/FT8 encoder/decoder library for resource‑limited platforms, reflecting a habit of turning hobbyist curiosity into practical tools. Comfortable bridging research and product, he has repeatedly moved state‑of‑the‑art speech synthesis and TTS research into deployable pipelines and voice building systems.
