Sai Satwik Vaddi Email and Phone Number
I am a Software Engineering Professional with about 5 years of Experience. I developed/engineered low latency SnapDragon RTOS & Zephyr RTOS-systems in C++/C(involves multi-threaded software stack, MCUs & Embedded devices).Previously, I worked at Qualcomm building 4G/5G PHY connectivity stack, following 3GPP REL 14/15 standards. Currently, I am building BLE enabled ARM embedded wearables (NXP, STM32, nRF, Arduino MCUs) with Zephyr RTOS, alongside test infrastructure at Meta. I built TCP/USB/UART/I2C/SPI/multimedia (BLE) based networking software's/drivers utilizing AR/VR, MAC, Windows devices in Unity C#(coroutines), C++, Python utilizing APIs, following design patterns (queuing, messaging, Threadpool). My passion in acquiring knowledge led me to complete a double masters in Columbia University(CS) & IIT Madras(EC). My top Skills lie in Operating Systems(OS), 5G/4G/IoT Networks, Distributed Systems, Artificial Intelligence(ML,DL,RL agent), AR/VR/Graphics, Blockchain (Concurrency, EVM, Solidity). I am determined, committed, passionate to develop Embedded/Networks, Intelligent Systems, VR/AR Wearable Systems & Applications, for a better future. I have social awareness and I am more focused to join strong system oriented teams to make the world better.I can team up with Tech, Automotive, Medical, Physicists, Climate teams to create an impact in everyday lives by creating suitable systems and applications.Before joining industry in 2018, I completed my bachelor's at IIT Madras in Electrical Engineering, focused on Communication Systems.I researched under Prof.TG Venkatesh in Computer Networks. Later, I was fortunate to develop RTOS based system for 5G modem in SnapDragon in it's hay days - as a Software Engineer at Qualcomm. I acquired immense knowledge on RTOS platforms, 3GPP System Specifications, Embedded Systems and developed a productive Work-ethic. I also worked as a Cloud Engineer at 'Securifi Embedded Systems' deploying Cloud technologies for quite some time.I am active contributor to open source. I am also an active hustler and working on building an AI based B2B platform - partnering with Olam ventures under the supervision of Mr. Phill Davies.Research:Experienced in conducting Research on Communication Networks (Modelling) & Reinforcement Learning (MetaRL, LLM).
