Adrián Bulnes

Co-founding a hardware startup building the Sparse Matrix Processor, a custom accelerator for sparse linear algebra, on an architecture I first designed and prototyped in 2019-2021: instruction-set design, multi-cycle to pipelined microarchitecture, and the simulation and verification toolchain. I own the compute and developer infrastructure end to end, from a bare-metal Linux GPU environment (NVIDIA CUDA, PyTorch, GPU-resident model inference) to self-hosted CI runners that run automated hardware health verification on every build.

Designed and built an agentic AI platform specialized in edge deployments, orchestrating autonomous agents on constrained, on-premises hardware. Owned systems architecture and deployment tooling, alongside team coordination and business development. Company wound down in 2025.

Delivered and operated Kubernetes deployments of a data-quality platform inside enterprise customers' own clusters, using Helm, ArgoCD, AWS EKS, Terraform, Docker Compose, Python, Git and Linux. Worked directly with customer platform teams to make the product install, upgrade and run reliably across heterogeneous and access-restricted environments.

Designed a product of 6 micro-services, database, REST APIs, 2 clients and 2 long-running services in a provider-independent way, using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFormation, Cognito, DynamoDB, SQS, Docker, ECS+Fargate, C# and JavaScript. Cloud architecture for a 30-person project, and line manager for 3 engineers.

Design of all software components for a custom chip used in datacenters, working side to side with the other architects (power electronics, digital electronics, chip packaging).

Responsible for the entire Firmware Validation of a next-gen communications device used in data centers.

Development of the Firmware Test Framework and Test Cases of Intel Atom camera co-processor.
