Hi, I'm Mark Kimutai Kitur Mechatronic engineer and data scientist focusing on embedded systems,robotics, and AI-driven automation. I develop end-to-end intelligent systems that integrate hardware, software, and machine learning.

Embedded Systems Development

I build and deploy real-time systems using microcontrollers and single-board computers. My experience includes:

•	Bare-metal C development for microcontrollers (ATMega328P).
•	Communication protocols: I2C, SPI, USART.
•	Timer configuration, PWM generation, and ADC sampling.    
•	Hardware-software integration for sensing, actuation, and control loops.    
•	Deployment of ML models on ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, and other constrained devices.    
•	Embedded automation modules implemented in C .

• Custom Linux image creation and build automation using Yocto Project and BitBake for scalable embedded deployments. Embedded projects

AI, Machine Learning, and Software Engineering

I work across modern and traditional AI systems, including:

  •	Transformers and large-sequence models.    
  •	Computer Vision pipelines for detection, classification, and tracking.    
  •	Traditional Machine Learning (SVMs, Random Forests, clustering, regression pipelines).    
  •	NLP systems (Seq2Seq models, attention mechanisms, language modeling).    
  •	Deployment of models on:    
          •	Render      
          •	Raspberry Pi      
          •	ESP8266      
          •	Web backends running Ruby
          •	Flask

What I'm Currently Building • Deepening my expertise in Yocto Project for custom Linux distributions—layers, recipes, multiconfig, and embedded build optimization. • Transformer and CV workflows for automation tasks.

• Embedded ML inference modules on Raspberry Pi and ESP boards.
