Kunvar Chokshi

Bio:

Kunvar Chokshi is an independent embedded firmware engineer who designs, brings up, and debugs low-power sensing systems from first prototype through field deployment.

He has spent over a decade building firmware for resource-constrained devices, with a focus on power-efficient sensor interfaces, robust bootloaders, and over-the-air update pipelines for deployed fleets. His recent work centers on always-on sensing architectures: duty-cycling strategies, interrupt-driven designs, and squeezing years of battery life out of coin-cell-powered nodes.

Kunvar has presented on low-power firmware design and field debugging practices, and he writes about the practical realities of shipping embedded products — manufacturing variation, production testing, and the long tail of post-deployment support. His sessions emphasize measured results and honest engineering tradeoffs over marketing claims.
