Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShiqing Gao is an electrical engineer with 8 years of experience blending power electronics, electric machinery, control systems, and low-level software development. He holds an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan (4.0 GPA) and a strong foundation from Harbin Institute of Technology, bringing both analog circuit and embedded programming skills (C, assembly) to system-level problems. His work spans simulation and PCB tools (MATLAB/Simulink, Cadence, Altium, LTSpice) and real-world hypervisor device-model improvements—contributing PCI passthrough and ACPI/I2C support to the widely used ACRN project to enable Android UOS on MRB platforms. Comfortable bridging hardware and firmware, he has a knack for debugging tricky memory and interrupt-sharing issues that often block platform bring-up. Based in California, he pairs rigorous academic training with hands-on contributions that shorten time-to-boot for complex embedded systems.
