About Anupam Kaul

I\'ve shipped 500M+ devices across 25 years — from chips to operating systems to AI-powered consumer products.My career has spanned the full stack of innovation: ASIC design at Renesas, cryptographic SIM card OS development at Schlumberger/Gemalto, building Palm webOS from scratch for smartphones and tablets, reviving and scaling webOS for LG Smart TVs (now in millions of homes), and most recently, leading Amazon\'s Vega OS development for Echo and FireTV devices.What I bring to organizations:At Amazon, I lead teams building our next-generation AI/LLM stack for edge devices — optimizing inference for on-device intelligence across Echo and FireTV products. I\'ve built and scaled engineering organizations from the ground up, including LG\'s Silicon Valley innovation lab where I incubated robotics, deep learning, and mixed reality products that opened new business verticals.I\'ve developed three proprietary operating systems from zero: Axalto\'s SIM card OS, Palm/LG webOS, and Amazon Vega OS. I understand what it takes to ship at scale — the architecture decisions, the team building, the cross-functional alignment, and the relentless focus on customer experience.Technical depth: Large Language Models (LLM) • Edge AI/ML Inference • Deep Learning • Operating Systems Architecture • Graphics/Multimedia Systems • Embedded Systems • RoboticsLeadership scale: Built and led teams of 200+ engineers • Launched products generating billions in revenue • Established engineering cultures that outlast my tenureI\'m currently exploring senior engineering leadership opportunities (Director, VP, Head of Engineering) where I can drive the next wave of AI-powered products. Particularly interested in roles at the intersection of AI/ML and consumer devices, robotics, or automotive.Open to connecting: a••••••••@yahoo.com
