Nikhil Parlapalli

Firmware Engineer

I design and debug embedded systems for a living. 

I also tinker with weekend electronics projects — and occasionally shoot and edit photographs — but professionally I help companies ship reliable embedded products.

About Me

I pray at the altar of Linux Kernel. On a typical day you will find me at my desk with at least a few hardware boards with their guts open, and some debug wires hanging out with my oscilloscope. 

Engineer, photographer and probably a part time financial analyst (love those 10-Ks)

An alum of BITS Pilani (India) and Virginia Tech (USA), I spent about a decade in the automotive industry designing products that make vehicles safe, affordable and fun to drive around.
