Hey! I’m Rafael Gonzalez — an electronics engineer passionate about embedded systems, IoT solutions, and AI integration.
I enjoy debugging low-level firmware, optimizing real-time systems, and making hardware and software work in harmony.
Outside work, I explore embedded ML, IoT sensor automation, and open-source projects.
🎓 Completed Global Summer Institute (Big Data & AI) at UT Austin, top marks in Python and AI modules.
Current focus: low-power firmware • BLE & IoT protocols • embedded ML • field integration
