⚡ Turning circuits into smart systems, bridging wires and algorithms, building for health-tech and real-world impact ⚡
- 🎓 Pursuing B.S.E. in Electrical & Computer Engineering (Concentration: Machine Learning) + B.S. in Computer Science + Certificate in Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Duke University. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- 🏠 From Brasília, DF, Brazil. Now based in Durham, NC, USA. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- 💾 Self-taught programming since age 9; graduated as Informatics Technician at the Federal Institute Brasília. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- 🧬 Focused on health-tech, edge AI, neuromorphic computing, and full-stack + embedded hardware/software co-design.
- 🛠 I build IoT systems: sensors ↔ firmware ↔ cloud ↔ inference — all integrated end-to-end.
- 🌱 Maker mindset: from PCB design & embedded firmware to algorithms and backend dashboards — I’m where hardware meets code.
- Firmware & Embedded Hardware: microcontrollers, PCB layout (Eagle/Altium), sensor networks, low-power systems.
- Edge AI & Neuromorphic Computing: on-device inference, neuromorphic architecture research, embedded computer-vision/ML at the edge.
- IoT & Co-Design: Designing systems where hardware and software are developed in concert — sensors + algorithms + deployment.
- Full-Stack Software & Data Systems: Front-end dashboards, backend services, data pipelines, cloud/edge integration.
- Health Applications: Applying the entire stack (hardware + AI + software) to healthcare use-cases and impactful systems.
- Prototyping embedded-AI systems for IoT and health-tech: sensors + firmware + edge inference stacks.
- Developing neuromorphic computing workflows and integrating them into real-world applications (especially in healthcare and monitoring).
- Leading full-stack HW/SW co-design projects: from hardware design to firmware to cloud/dashboard.
- Exploring and building with co-design mindset: bridging electrical & computer engineering with software, AI, and health-applications.
- Currently a Karsh International Scholar at Duke University. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- My blog reflects these projects and explorations — check out updates at wanghley.com for deep dives and experiments. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
I’m always open to collaboration, hackathons, maker challenges, and bold hardware/software + AI systems.
