Yuri Braga

Systems, embedded, automation & AI product — built to ship.

Computer engineer specializing in real-time systems, embedded firmware, robotics, and production ML. Virginia Tech grad (3.5 years, 3.78 GPA), 3 years of graduate-level robotics research, ECE Ambassadors President. Co-founded CareFuse and built our ML platform end-to-end.

Based in Boston, working with teams solving hard problems in automation, robotics, medtech, consumer products, and intelligent systems.

Production ML

End-to-end ML platform: datasets, training, validation, deployment, iteration from real user feedback.

Automation

Motor controller validation, test fixtures, and automation platforms that cut test time and improve reliability.

Embedded & real-time

Embedded C, I2C/CAN drivers, sensor integration, control systems — from PCB to firmware.

PCB & hardware

Altium PCB design for test fixtures and embedded applications; electrical subsystem design.

What I've Shipped
