I'm Nikhil Robinson — I build low-level systems that boot fast, run reliably, and talk over wires and air.
I write firmware for microcontrollers, drivers for weird peripherals, and protocols that move data like they mean it.
- 🧠 Architect robust, scalable firmware for production
- 🧪 Build testable systems using TDD & CI/CD pipelines
- 📶 Engineer low-level drivers, protocols, and OTA pipelines
- 🧰 Hack together sensors, AI models, servers, apps — full-stack embedded style
- An entity capable of disrupting the entire cyberspace (I am trying hard not to).
- An autonomous system that shouldn't be walking on its own... but does.
- Literally a box which is smarter than me.
- An UFO... yes an UFO!!!*
- A zero-wire file transport method that shouldn't be this fast.
There are NDAs. There are blinking lights. There is a small chance the lab explodes.
So yeah, it's going well.

- 📐 Write firmware like it's production software.
- 📄 Document like you're onboarding yourself six months from now.
- 🧪 Test it like it's running on a satellite.
- 💡 Keep learning, keep breaking, keep building.
If you're building something smart, connected, fast, or dangerously close to brilliant —
and you need firmware that doesn’t flake out under pressure —
you know where to find me.
⚠️ Warning: I build systems that keep working even after marketing says it's “done.”
