Hello CoreBoot,
Loved reading about what you do and hoping I'd get a chance to help with it.

I'd started programming pretty late in highschool, around the time I was 15-16 years old. Once I got into college 2 years later was when I really started getting into programming. 
In college I first got into a robotics automation and building team that participates in RoboCon in every year. I was primarily working with interfacing components like sensors, encoders, communication modules to arduino and avr boards. Majority of my knowledge with hardware and firmware stems from here.
Later on I moved into android app development and have done multiple projects ranging from freelance, my own projects and interning with app based startups.
My contribution to open source code is something I'm quite ashamed of. Though I feel like I have worked on projects(apps) which would do really well on the OS platforms, I cannot put the code up as the organisations I built these apps for are trying to start a business with it. My own projects comprise of libraries put together to make life a little easier for users, so not really worth open source mention. 
The idea I would like to propose to you isn't something that would fall completely into your field of work, but a company like this could really help build the technology needed. As an overview it's a way for an individual to talk to his/her car, preferably using a smart phone or a dash board interface, to not only read car info but also to remap the ECU of the car and to control a variety of the electronic components in the vehicle. I had worked individually using an arduino board plugged into a 9pin car On Board Diagnostics (OBD) port. Using a Bluetooth module I relayed information from my ardunio board to my Android device, but my more ambitious plans required better technology and more insight into the operating system of the car.

I hope that gives you brief idea about me and what I want to do, waiting to hear from you.
