Anand Mohan
@anandmohan3
Firmware Architect and Embedded Linux/RTOS platform consultant delivering secure, high-performance embedded systems and measurable delivery gains.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Strategic Technical Leader, Firmware Architect, and Embedded Linux & RTOS Platform Consultant with 20+ years of experience designing, optimising, and deploying secure, scalable, high-performance embedded systems. I bring deep hands-on expertise across Embedded Linux, RTOS, Linux kernel and device driver development, BSP bring-up, bootloaders, Secure Boot architectures, and firmware integration on ARM-based platforms.
In my current role as a Technical Product Owner & Senior Embedded Firmware Developer, I’ve taken full project ownership for NT98528 SoC firmware bring-up, architecting a multi-layer solution across BSP, HDAL, user-space, security, streaming, and Web UI. I designed and implemented an end-to-end Secure Boot chain of trust on OP-TEE, delivered RTSP/WebRTC/ONVIF streaming, and re-architected Linux user-space libraries to stabilise ISP and EIS pipelines—cutting video latency from 8 seconds to 250 ms and eliminating daily system restarts.
I’m known for measurable delivery and quality improvements: I’ve delivered 15+ enterprise firmware releases ahead of schedule, cutting build cycles by up to 66%, accelerating validation pipelines by up to 75%, and reducing active defects by over 70%. I lead product backlogs, platform roadmaps, and cross-functional Agile/Scrum and SAFe execution, with strong technical communication, CAPA-driven quality, and structured mentoring that reduces ramp-up and single-point-of-failure risk.
