Ibad Desmukh
I am a Site Reliability Engineer, deeply interested in using computers to solve problems for benefiting humanity. I have been writing programs since I was 10 years old. I received a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Computing and Information Systems with Distinction, from Queen Mary University of London in 2024. There, I dove into exploring advanced computer architecture, algorithms and low-level programming. I live in Liverpool, United Kingdom.

Currently, I am:
- Researching hardware-software co-design and domain-specific architectures for the current post-Moore's law era. Areas of interest include field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), neuromorphic computing and quantum computing.
- Working as a Data Analyst for a financial services company.
Long term goals:
- Build highly efficient computers with near-infinite battery life and near-infinite computational power.
- Use these systems to solve challenging problems in physics, biology and chemistry to improve human lives.
- Reveal truths about the universe through computational exploration.
Past work:
- I took a course at a college to learn programming in C++ when I was 10 years old. I have been involved in software and web development ever since.
- In middle school, I designed and developed a full-featured website for Real-Time Information Services, an information technology services company based in California, United States.
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

Featured Projects
AgriSense: A scalable, systems-driven agricultural monitoring solution
Designed and implemented a low-cost, wireless agricultural field monitoring system leveraging Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi-Fi. Integrated real-time data processing with fuzzy logic and linear regression algorithms, optimized for performance across constrained environments. Developed firmware in C using FreeRTOS and Apache NimBLE, with a systems-level focus on modularity and portability. Hardware included Espressif ESP32-C3 and ESP32-S3 microcontrollers, Sensiron SHT41 temperature and humidity sensor, Rohm Semiconductor BH1750 light sensor, and capacitive soil moisture sensor.
