Vijay Pradeep
@vijaypradeep
Embedded & AI/ML programming engineer building edge IoT systems and real-time motion tracking.
What I'm looking for
I’m a BSc (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduate focused on embedded systems, AI/ML, and real-time data processing. I bring hands-on experience in firmware development, IoT integration, and edge AI solutions, with a strong passion for innovation and problem solving.
At SIOT Service Pvt Ltd, I developed machine fault classification with NanoEdge AI for predictive maintenance, and built end-to-end ML pipelines for real-world needs like garbage classification using TensorFlow and a label printing quality checker using PyTorch and TensorFlow. I also created an AI-powered plagiarism detection tool, and I build AI-powered workflows across business functions—integrating LLMs for classification and enrichment while deploying automations with n8n, Make, and Zapier.
I’m equally driven by device-level engineering. I designed an IMU- and gesture-focused 3D-mode wireless air mouse ring using Python, C++, and Edge Impulse, and I built an SMS-based home appliance control system using Arduino and a SIM module. For smart home reliability, I developed a BMS (AC controller) using MQTT automation and OTA firmware updates, and I created a compact smart fire alarm with real-time monitoring—often pairing custom PCB-integrated AI and sensor systems to keep devices compact and efficient.
Beyond embedded work, I’ve strengthened my engineering foundation through roles in electrical supervision and inspection/testing, including thermography and earth loop impedance testing. I’ve also supported networking fundamentals through switch/Wi‑Fi configuration and fiber/copper troubleshooting, and I document workflows so teams can scale faster without losing quality.
