Summary
🤩
RockstarKwabena Agyeman is an embedded systems and hardware leader with 11 years of experience building everything from FPGA firmware for Earth-imaging satellites to safety-critical automotive PCBs and open-source camera firmware. He cofounded and now runs OpenMV, developing a high-performance computer-vision library for microcontrollers intended to scale to billions of devices, and is an active contributor to OpenMV, MicroPython and CircuitPython where his low-level work includes sensor readout/exposure calculations and UART hardware flow control. At Embark he led electrical and embedded teams delivering production automotive systems, and earlier implemented image-capture and downlink FPGA firmware at Planet. A Carnegie Mellon MSE graduate, he combines deep firmware/hardware craft with entrepreneurial product instincts and a proven ability to make highly constrained devices perform sophisticated vision tasks.
