Naveen Kulandaivelu

Hello there! I’m Naveen, a Robotics and Deep Learning Engineer/Founder based out of San Francisco Bay Area.

In the past, I’ve worked on low-speed autonomous robots and vehicles, and more recently was the founding engineer at Polymath Robotics, building off-highway autonomous solutions.

I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a while, and I’ve finally decided to turn my scattered Apple Notes and Obsidian into something more permanent.

This blog is my platform for sharing what I have been learning and building in robotics, AI, and tech. I’m also excited to write about my startup experiences — both the wins and misses.

I’ll try to keep the content unique and interesting. Hopefully you’ll find them useful!

My current areas of interest:

  1. Deploying the next million intelligent robots to do work.
  2. Non-combat robotic systems for defence operations.
  3. Enabling individuals to best leverage AI tools for their work and lives.
  4. Local model optimizations for edge deployment and inference.

If you want to get in touch, you can find me on LinkedIn or on X or Email me.
