About me
Hey, I’m Dhruvjit — a product-minded systems engineer working at the intersection of embedded software, IoT telemetry, and platform delivery. I currently work @Windriver as a Member of Technical Staff, shaping features for the Wind River Studio suite by translating user needs into requirements and partnering with engineering, UX, and stakeholders to ship them.
When I’m not working, I’m usually knee-deep in circuits, code, and small experiments that blink, move, and occasionally fail on purpose.
While this is only my public portfolio, I also actively blog at Elektrolab covering my process of learning and building in public.
