Gil Michael Regalado / Bangonkali

Engineering,
from circuits
to systems.

I am an electronics engineer and R&D leader working across embedded systems, computer vision, and software platforms. I connect first principles and implementation detail with product decisions, business constraints, and the teams that bring systems into use.
