Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVikhyat Goyal is an embedded systems and automotive firmware engineer with eight years of experience building safety-focused drivers, sensor processing pipelines, and machine-vision feature extractors. With a MS from the University of Colorado Boulder, he combines low-level C/C++ and assembly expertise across ARM, x86, and legacy cores with algorithm design and ML for constrained devices. He has driven base driver development and startup self-tests for automotive ECUs at Bosch and shipped system software and video/IO integrations at Xilinx and AMD. Vikhyat contributes to the popular PYNQ project, adapting Jupyter-based video and webcam notebooks for Zynq boards—a sign of his hands-on hardware-software fluency and interest in edge AI. He favors requirement-driven, safety-aligned engineering practices (ASPICE, ASIL) and pragmatic, portable solutions that simplify validation and field reliability. Colocated in Boulder, he’s focused on building intelligent self-tests and safety algorithms that make embedded systems more robust and maintainable.
