About Farrukh Khan
With over 30 years of software engineering experience, I specialize in video and image processing systems for various domains, such as medical imaging, live streaming, video on-demand, and embedded systems. I have a proven track record of solving complex problems and delivering high-quality solutions for my clients, ranging from small startups to large organizations.Currently, I work as an embedded software engineer at Meta, where I prototype a new stealth project that involves gathering image and video data through a pipeline of filters on a low-power Qualcomm platform running Linux Android for Wearables. I use C++, Python, and CUDA to implement and test the video pipeline, the YAML config file support, and the graph-based log analysis. I enjoy working on cutting-edge technologies and challenging projects that have the potential to transform the world.
