Summary
Obed Mogaka is a doctoral researcher and experienced electronics engineer with nine years building embedded hardware, firmware (C/C++, RTOS, Embedded Linux), PCB designs and FPGA systems across domains from space systems to consumer IoT. He founded EmbedSystems to deliver end-to-end hardware products, FPGA and edge-AI solutions, and has hands-on experience qualifying COTS satellite electronics and developing payload processors. Currently based in Västerås and pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Mälardalen University, his research focuses on energy-efficient deep-learning accelerators, digital design, DSP, VLSI and reconfigurable architectures. Obed combines academic rigor with entrepreneurial product delivery, routinely moving prototypes from schematic to assembly and field test. Known for a pragmatic focus on signal integrity and system-level optimization, he brings uncommon cross-domain fluency between embedded ML, space-grade electronics and low-power accelerator design.
