The
Story
edjitsu is an independent technical consulting and training practice led by Anand Rajendran, an Automotive Embedded & AI Solution Architect based in Chennai, India.
The name fuses two ideas: Edge — the embedded, real-time, hardware edge where decisions happen in microseconds — and -jitsu, the Japanese suffix for mastery through disciplined practice. Engineering precision, applied with art.
The circuit-tree captures that origin. Its roots are the embedded systems foundation — the firmware, protocols, and real hardware that everything builds on. The branches are knowledge reaching outward, and the nodes at the tips are the outcomes: trained engineers, shipped products, AI running at the edge.
