Summary
Prateek Garg is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in production-grade AI and edge computer vision, with 11 years of software experience and 7+ years focused on embedded systems and AI deployment. As Co-founder and CTO of ParkSmart, he architected and scaled a cost-effective smart-parking platform to 1,500+ sites across 20+ cities, shipping real-time ANPR/OCR models on Jetson and Raspberry Pi with near 99% accuracy and building the full-stack from firmware to cloud. He brings low-level systems expertise from Qualcomm—secure flashing, RPMB diagnostics and performance debugging—combined with cloud-native distributed systems experience using Kafka, MQTT, Docker, and PostgreSQL. Comfortable moving between hardware, embedded firmware, mobile apps, and backend services, he’s known for turning solo engineering into a 10-person cross-functional team and for pragmatic solutions like offline-first Android POS and ESP32-based custom controllers. Now at Portal26, he focuses on high-performance AI systems that meet real-world constraints and production reliability. Based in Noida, he blends academic rigor from IIT Delhi with hands-on product delivery and a knack for squeezing latency and cost out of constrained devices.
