Pangolin Systems brings decades of systems engineering — from Unix
kernel internals to RISC-V devices and LLM-driven development — with one
consistent focus: making complete products work, from bare metal to
application.

Edge AI & Machine Vision

• Trained convolutional neural networks for visual recognition tasks,
  end to end: dataset accumulation, labelling, training, and deployment.
• Machine vision for automated inspection and dynamic object tracking.
• Designed and built distributed systems of Linux hosts and embedded
  devices communicating over Ethernet and USB, developed with LLM-based
  tooling.
• Built an LLM-assisted development application that itself used LLM APIs
  for classification tasks.

Embedded Systems

• Firmware and boot loaders for ARM and PIC SoCs; embedded Linux bring-up
  on ARM.
• Device development on ESP32, RISC-V, PIC32, AVR, and nRF52840: motor,
  relay, and lighting control; sensor interfacing; networked interfaces
  (UDP/HTTP over 802.11).
• Prototype cellular handset development.
• SNMP device management on an RTOS-based radio repeater and a
  uClinux-based network interface controller.

Robotics & Control

• Actuator control: servos, DC motors, stepper motors.
• Behavior-based autonomous control — many discrete behaviors competing
  for limited hardware resources.
• GUIs for device control and state visualization.

Wireless & Protocols

• Cellular protocol stack implementation (CDMA-2000).
• LoRa device software (nRF52840, Meshtastic mesh networks) and Zigbee
  devices deployed in amusement parks.
• TCP/IP internals: porting between operating systems, debugging, and
  extension; PPP debugging and extension.
• Application protocol design and implementation; protocol verification
  using state-space analysis.

Systems Programming

• Kernel design and implementation on bare hardware, uniprocessor and
  multiprocessor; user-level thread implementations.
• Device drivers for bare hardware, RTOSes, and Unix variants.
• Parallel programming: restructuring applications for parallel
  execution, multi-process locking design and debugging, CPU and NUMA
  optimization.

Engineering Infrastructure & Leadership

• Large build systems; regression-test systems with code-coverage
  tracking; source control and bug-tracking implementation.
• Network and security design: firewalls, packet filtering, SSL, proxies,
  routing, DNS, IPv6.
• Supervision of development and system-administration staff.

Sectors

• Security & Surveillance — image analysis; event detection and
  reporting; ONVIF security and monitoring.
• Cellular Telephony — handset; base-station test equipment.
• Satellite Broadcast — DBS system; IP over satellite.
• Academic — highly parallel research computer; autonomous car.
• Chemical Engineering — chemical residue identification device.
• Remote Sensing — GIS data-analysis software.
• Retail — Unix-based point-of-sale system.
• Financial Data — real-time and historical stock data system.
