Greetings, I’m Miguel 👋

I’m an engineer & entrepreneur focusing on applied robotics & embedded systems. I’m also currently researching Large Language Models and building AI projects in stealth. I also write occasionally about philosophy and computers.

I’m a sophomore at Cal Poly studying Computer Engineering. I am currently writing drivers and firmware for electric vehicles at Cal Poly Racing. Here are some of the projects I’ve work on at Cal Poly.

This past summer, I worked at DeepWater Exploration to ship some streaming software, which outperformed OBS, and drivers and firmware for their products which are used in various applications spanning across academia, enterprise, and defense.

This upcoming summer I will be working at NVIDIA, working on their internal platform used for end-to-end testing of their products, from the modular down to the transistor level.

See more on my resume or contact me at mavillaf@calpoly.edu.
