Emilio Melis.
builds edge AI that
runs on-device.

I write native runtimes, sensor fusion filters, and edge AI systems that fit on small chips.

CS engineering student at Polytech Tours,
next, AI research at HEC Montréal.

My first real project was an autonomous submarine. The hard part was the Kalman filter, getting a steady heading out of noisy IMU data.

Now it's edge AI, running models locally on phones and embedded boards. I want to take that into automotive or aerospace next.
