Where Open Meets Smart
Hi, I’m Raja Mallik, a software architect with over 20 years of expertise in embedded systems, firmware, and SoC development. My journey has been shaped by a deep passion for technology innovation, system security, and AI/ML integration, enabling me to design and deliver scalable, high-performance, and secure solutions for a diverse range of mobile, wearable, connectivity, and IoT products.
Born and raised in Namrup, India, I pursued my B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Madras and later a PGDM (5G Foundation with AI/ML) from IISc Bangalore.
Beyond my technical pursuits, I’m also a musician, proficient in Guitar and Tabla, and I occasionally perform live— a creative outlet that balances my analytical mindset.
Technical Journey
- Embedded Systems & Firmware – Architecting robust, low-level software solutions for cutting-edge hardware platforms.
- System Security – Implementing security frameworks to ensure data integrity, privacy, and cyber resilience.
- IoT & Networking – Designing smart, connected solutions for a more seamless digital ecosystem.
- AI/ML Integration – Leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance embedded systems and real-time decision-making.
- Power Optimization – Crafting energy-efficient systems for battery-powered and constrained devices.
These areas have been pivotal in shaping my technical leadership across multiple verticals, allowing me to mentor teams, drive strategic initiatives, and contribute to industry innovations. With decades of hands-on experience, I now feel this is the right time to share my knowledge and insights with a broader audience.
