I am Viki (officially VN, representing the initials of my first and last name). By profession, I am a software architect specializing in embedded systems and telematics. Through my academic and research work, I acquired the essential skills to develop robotic sensors and create practical solutions involving artificial intelligence.

I have over one and half decade of experience in the software industry, including nearly a decade at a leading California-based computer networking company famously associated with the San Francisco Bridge (a hint, if you're curious about the company). Additionally, I have worked as a consulting software architect and manager for more than five years, serving clients across Europe and the UK. I have collaborated with and managed teams of engineers from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including professionals from France, Belgium, the UK, Russia, and South Asia.

As a software architect, I specialize in embedded systems and firmware development. My work involves designing firmware and embedded applications in automotive and telecommunications industry. I have designed software applications, control systems, over-the-air update systems, and daughter cards for predictive maintenance in trucks, compactors, and other vehicles, as well as for telecom systems.

In my academic and personal research, I have focused on developing embedded sensor modules, including both hardware and software, specifically in the field of robotics. One of my most significant achievements for myself is the development of a high-density tactile fingertip module for prosthetic hands and humanoid robots, which is detailed on my research and projects page.

My areas of interest include computing (informatics) and robotics, specifically humanoids, with a particular focus on embedded software applications and electronics hardware design and development.
