Maxime Coutte-peroumal is an embedded systems and IoT engineer with nine years of experience building novel computing hardware and consumer devices from concept to prototype in the San Francisco Bay Area. As founder of UNISON, he led product-focused engineering efforts and hands-on development, particularly around low-cost VR hardware where he contributed firmware, I2C communication, and 3D design assets to an open-source $200 SteamVR headset project. He blends electrical, firmware, and mechanical thinking to close the gap between electronics and user-facing experiences, often debugging low-level issues like serial interruptions that unlock better device reliability. Known for shipping working prototypes rather than slides, he favors pragmatic engineering and rapid iteration to make experimental computing tangible.
