Nivant Desai Email and Phone Number
Nivant Desai is a Course Staff - Embedded Operating Systems at Cornell University. Colleagues describe them as "August 4, 2022 To whom it may concern Nivant has worked at Textron Systems Wilmington, Ma. for over 3 months (May- Aug 2022) as an full time electrical intern. During this time he became a dedicated resource for multiple engineers on the Sentinel Program working firmware, electrical simulations, and design. In his short time with us he was responsible for successfully creating, procuring, breadboarding, and checkout of a power supply circuit to power our Xilinx Kintex 7 FPGA… Show more" and "If I founded a startup, Nivant would be the first person I'd ask to have on my team. He has a deep understanding of hardware/embedded system design and is always willing to solve a tough challenge, whether it's determining the root cause of a failed brushless motor or debugging convoluted C code. He is an excellent addition to any team not only because of his technical skills, but because his positive attitude and drive make those around him better."
