About Carlos

I'm Carlos Torres, an Embedded Software Engineer and Computer Engineering Master's student at UTSA. I specialize in bare-metal systems, hardware-software co-design, and AI hardware acceleration. With experience ranging from developing flight control telemetry for autonomous UAVs to engineering custom RISC-V processors, I bridge the gap between low-level hardware and high-performance software. I am actively seeking a Hardware Engineering or Firmware role to leverage my expertise in solving complex architectural challenges.
