Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShubham Kulkarni is a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with six years of experience building low-level firmware, OS primitives, and secure embedded platforms, currently working on CoreOS at Apple. He holds an MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon and has a strong track record at Espressif where he led initiatives like ESP Privilege Separation and porting MCUboot support that were adopted as full projects. Proficient in C, Assembly, RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), and tooling from linker scripts to GDB, he has contributed important fixes and tests to high-profile open-source repos such as esp-idf and Amazon FreeRTOS. Comfortable across firmware, bootloaders, and middleware networking stacks, he combines systems-level design with hands-on hardware debug using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. Notably, he implemented a Unix-like x86 OS at CMU and has a pattern of turning exploratory prototypes into productionized projects.
