Summary
Pedro Coelho is an embedded software engineer and rising senior in Computer Engineering at UIUC with a diverse eight-year background spanning embedded systems, data science, and computer vision research. He has built end-to-end hardware products and prototypes—from microcontroller-driven color meters and custom PCBs to real-time embedded firmware—while also delivering data-driven tools like crop moisture forecasting and GIS visualizations. At AGCO and Axon he translated agronomic and product constraints into cost-conscious designs and production-ready prototypes, and his research work explores synthetic vs. real-image training for low-tolerance pose estimation in robotic manufacturing. Comfortable across the stack, Pedro combines hands-on hardware prototyping, Python-based modeling and web scraping, and embedded C/C++ software to create practical solutions with measurable impact. Based in Urbana, he’s drawn to roles that bridge software and hardware to move projects from concept to in-field value.
