Ayan Ospan builds at the layer where hardware meets software.

Where a control loop is only as good as the code running it, and code has to answer to physics. Engineer intern at Wabtec, undergraduate researcher in autonomous systems, founder of Chronos — currently writing distributed systems in C++ and benchmarking infrastructure for LLMs.
