Hi, I'm Daniel, R&D engineer at the physical/sensing/compute/inference boundaries. Freelance since Jan 2025: most recently an agentic pipeline for a healthcare startup that adheres to HIPAA and is deterministically prevented from accessing restricted data.
Sole inventor on a pending patent for an indoor localization system with SoTA estimation accuracy in GPS-denied and off-grid environments, where nothing is sent to the cloud.
Before that, IBM: memory controller firmware for POWER servers, and chip-op firmware and bringup/test software for the Z17 mainframe processor. That included a chip-op that cut scanchain verification time by 17% in AWAN simulation. Earlier: a Python computer vision backend for shelf sensors, live at the CVS Manhattan flagship in 2019/2020, and an embedded C++ environmental sensor package still running in several NJ warehouses since 2017.
Personal project: Movement Voltage turns hand pose into control voltage. Stereo camera tracks a hand, an RPi4 turns the landmarks into distances, and 0-5V comes out through an I2C->DAC->jacks board I designed and soldered, into a eurorack synth. Full writeup and photo on the portfolio.
