Hi there, my name's Jan Kaltenegger πŸ‘‹

πŸŽ“ Undergraduate Researcher & IT Student

Based in: Lawrenceville/Duluth, GA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ | Origin: Austria πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ή


πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» About Me

I started learning to code when I was in Middle School, originally trying to script solutions for my video game problems using Lua. That curiosity set me on a path to follow in my father's footsteps and ultimately led me to the United States to pursue my degree.

I have a passion for anything to do with System-Level Programming, Hardware, and Algorithms. My current favorite languages are C and C++, specifically applied to:

  • High-Level Synthesis (HLS) & FPGAs (Zynq SoCs)
  • Computer Architecture
  • NixOS & Reproducible Builds

πŸ”­ Current Research & Projects

I am currently conducting research at the intersection of High-Performance Computing, Robotics, and Topological Data Analysis.

  • πŸ€– PackBot Modernization (ROS2): Leading the hardware retrofitting of iRobot PackBots, decoupling proprietary electronics to build an open-source ROS 2 research platform.
  • ⚑ Latency-Critical Finance on FPGA: Developing a hardware-software co-design framework on Zynq SoCs using Nix to ensure deterministic build environments for HFT signal processing.
  • 🧠 TDA + Machine Learning: Engineered a bio-computational pipeline using Vietoris-Rips filtration to analyze fMRI data for ASD classification.
  • πŸ“ˆ Algorithmic Trading: Built a quantitative back-testing framework in Python, analyzing 18 years of S&P 500 data to optimize risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe/Sortino ratios).

πŸ› οΈ Tech Stack

Languages Hardware & Embedded Data & ML Tools & Platforms
C Verilog PyTorch NixOS
C++ Raspberry Pi Pandas Linux
Rust ESP32 SciPy Git
Python PYNQ Giotto-TDA Docker
Java Vivado / Vitis KeplerMapper ROS2

πŸ’Ό Looking For

I am currently on the lookout for any full-time positions, specifically in:

  • Embedded Systems (C/C++)

I'd love to work in businesses of any size, as long as there is enough new information for me to soak up!
