Kyros Engineering
Water-Treatment Controller — Firmware Rescue & Verification
Commercial water-treatment equipment manufacturer. Kyros took over an STM32H753 (Cortex-M7) controller we did not write, stabilised it, and delivered it verified on real hardware. Six task areas across EEPROM persistence, RTC, scheduling, data logging, bootloader and version reporting — plus 38 application bug fixes, 6 bootloader findings, and 9 more carried across to a sibling portable controller. The headline defect was a firmware update that froze at a different byte offset every time; it turned out to be two DMA masters writing into the same SRAM region, and the fix was twelve lines.
- Root-caused a CAN-ISR deadlock: HAL_Delay() inside the FDCAN RX callback, deferred to a FreeRTOS queue
- Diagnosed an imprecise BusFault without halting the core, using a probe we built and handed over
- Data logging to SD + SPI flash, 15 sensors, with a multi-frame CAN log-fetch protocol
- USB host bring-up and settings/calibration CSV export — delivered above the original SOW
- 24 test cases PASS against a written traceability matrix; every waiver and deferral documented
- Byte-for-byte reproducible build, closing a repo defect that had corrupted 18 of 25 committed binaries

Portal — Smart EV Charger
Kyros owned Portal's EV charger program from concept to manufactured product: system architecture, electronics, firmware, enclosure, UI/UX, and manufacturer selection. We modeled and simulated multi-level inverter topologies for efficient Level 2 charging and designed control, sensing, and protection electronics through productization and safety-test readiness.
- End-to-end ownership: mechanical + HW + FW + UI/UX + manufacturer facilitation
- Multi-level inverter modeling/simulation + control electronics
- Sensing and protection circuit design for Level 2 charging
- Safety/certification readiness (UL-class requirements)
- Cloud-connected mobile app with real-time monitoring

Prior Engineering Leadership
Connected Smart Thermostat
Led the technical team delivering fast-turn electronics and firmware prototypes for a connected thermostat, including modes, capacitive-touch UI, status lighting, and mesh communication for connected HVAC control. Invented the circular RGB interaction language and matrix LED UX patterns that made the device feel alive.
- Led initial prototype technical team through successful handoff
- Invented signature circular RGB + matrix-LED interaction system
- Mesh-connected network prototype using nRF24 for showcase demo
- Capacitive-touch UI with multi-mode status lighting
- Owned PCB + firmware revision control through production
Prior Engineering Leadership
Amazon Robotics — Proteus Autonomous Robot
Owned hardware and firmware for key UI/UX personality subsystems in the initial Proteus prototype — expressive matrix LED eyes, audio behaviors, and external lighting cues. This work strengthened human-robot interaction by making the robot's state and intent readable in shared environments, and contributed features that carried into the finished product.
- Owned personality UX hardware/firmware in the initial prototype
- Expressive LED matrix eyes and audio behavior design
- Exterior lighting cues: backup, brake, flashlight-style signaling
- Features carried forward into the finished shipping product
- Human-readable cues for shared-space safety and comfort
Prior Engineering Leadership
Surgical System Cable Assembly
Supported an IEC 60601-oriented cable assembly effort for a surgical platform — focusing on practical engineering research that de-risks compliance: creepage/clearance analysis, shielding approaches, BOM reviews, and cost reduction through smarter part selection. Design decisions built to survive regulatory scrutiny and manufacturing realities.
- IEC 60601-1 creepage and clearance analysis
- EMI shielding strategy and design validation
- BOM review + part selection tradeoffs for cost reduction
- Compliance-driven research for regulatory de-risking
- Design guidance through verification testing
Prior Engineering Leadership
OR Suture Counter
Took a suture-counter concept for the operating room from rough sketch to functional prototypes. Selected and brought up a Linux-based embedded platform, built OpenCV-driven image analysis to detect suture type and size, and designed the device's interaction system including RGB indicators, capacitive-touch UX, and motor control.
- System architecture + Linux OS selection and bring-up
- OpenCV software pipeline for suture identification + logging
- Custom IR mesh sensor for detecting hair-thin sutures
- Hardware UX layer: RGB indicators, capacitive touch, motor control
- Power/battery sizing + program planning and milestones
Prior Engineering Leadership
Automated Eye Diagnostic Kiosk
Led engineering end-to-end for an automated eye diagnostic kiosk — defining the Linux SBC system architecture and iterating electronics and firmware across optics, illumination, motion, and safety. Handled system interfaces with the OS, documentation, harnessing, and compliance-minded development consistent with medical-device expectations.
- Led every engineering aspect: motors, sensors, actuators, UI/UX, OS interfaces
- Linux system architecture and SBC control layer
- Precision optics and illumination subsystem design
- Motion control for automated patient alignment
- Medical safety/compliance mindset (IEC 60601 referenced)
