About

I am a Bluetooth Systems Engineer specializing in AR/VR wearables and consumer electronics, focused on building reliable wireless connectivity across phones, smart glasses, and edge AI devices. My work spans Bluetooth LE & Classic, secure pairing, L2CAP CoC, transport-layer optimization, audio pipeline efficiency, and intelligent multi-radio switching between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to support large-scale real-world deployments. I have contributed to first-generation smart glasses and next-generation wearable platforms that have been recognized globally for innovation, including technology honored as TIME Best Inventions 2025 🏆. I also speak at global developer conferences such as Droidcon (🇮🇹 🇮🇳 🇬🇧) and publish research through IEEE on wireless reliability, secure provisioning, and AI-assisted RF optimization. With deep experience across Android internals, embedded systems, low-level transport architecture, and RF behavior analysis, I focus on solving complex connectivity challenges and building systems that scale seamlessly across devices, networks, and ecosystems. I’m passionate about bridging research and real-world engineering impact, ensuring wireless technology remains dependabl
