Senior Embedded Engineer at Precision AI
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Summary
👤
SeniorRenee Cousins is an embedded systems and firmware engineer with 11 years of experience designing highly efficient software for extremely constrained hardware and enterprise-grade networking systems. As founder of Buffee Project, Inc., she built a retro Motorola 68000 accelerator with a novel JIT scheme and regularly publishes deep technical write-ups and maintains an active community. Her background spans low-level C and assembly on microcontrollers to Linux ARM HMI development, custom real-time control systems, virtualization (ESX/iSCSI) and scalable device fleets managed via cloud services. She has a track record of shrinking and optimizing bloated firmware, architecting POSIX shims for FreeRTOS, and inventing adaptive control algorithms that outperform standard PID in responsiveness. Based in Calgary, she blends hands-on hardware manufacturing with systems administration expertise for SMB-to-enterprise migrations. A self-described sci-fi nerd and “geek girl,” she pairs practical engineering with a passion for algorithmic AI, neural/fuzzy systems and elegant constrained-code design.
