About Me

Hiya there, I'm Ayub, a Software Engineer currently based in Edmonton, Alberta. My expertise lies in embedded systems, edge AI, and Systems programming.

In my spare time, I like working on a couple of small personal projects (right now I’m working on a hobby robotics operating system) as well as contributing to open source projects, which include contributions to Meta (React Dev tools), Mozilla (Firefox), and the Linux kernel (overlayfs).
