Sergi Escalfet is an embedded software engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in low-level firmware, system software and SDR, currently working at ArkEdge Space in Tokyo’s Koto ward. He has deep RISC‑V expertise from developing firmware for a +1000-core AI inference SoC at Esperanto Technologies and pursues open source work focused on shader and compiler pipelines. Sergi combines academic rigor—a master’s in HPC and computer architecture from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and research time at Kyushu University—with hands-on improvements to projects like the Vita3K PlayStation Vita emulator. His contributions show a penchant for refactoring and optimizing complex low-level subsystems, particularly shader recompilation and swizzle handling. Comfortable across firmware, SDR and emulator back-ends, he brings a blend of systems-level precision and practical optimization experience. Colleagues describe him as a quietly prolific low-level developer who prefers impactful technical fixes over headlines.
