About Me

I'm Farogh Iftekhar

With over 6 years of professional experience in the technology industry, I am a versatile and technology-driven enthusiast who excels at every stage of the product life cycle. My expertise lies in designing, testing, and deploying numerous embedded IoT products, bringing a wealth of knowledge and skill to any project. As a forward-thinking and innovative problem solver, I am always ready to go the extra mile to develop sustainable solutions that positively impact society. Currently pursuing a Master's degree in Embedded Systems, I am well-equipped to tackle any challenge and am committed to delivering work of the highest quality.

Prior to joining Hochschule Bremerhaven, I worked as a Technical Project Manager & Senior Embedded Systems Engineer for 5.3 years and have led the product team of 20+ engineers at a startup called Smart Joules in New Delhi, India aimed at solving the energy wastage crisis. I joined as one of the first developers in the tech team and contributed to designing, developing, and deploying an IoT-based energy optimization system called DejouleTM from scratch. The system currently derives an average of 40% energy savings with deployment in over 20+ clients sites and has already saved around 74 thousand tons of CO2.
