About Me

I am an embedded systems engineer with more than 8 years of hands-on experience developing firmware and software for automotive, electric vehicle, and IoT applications.

My work spans the complete embedded product development lifecycle — from understanding system requirements and hardware/software interaction through firmware architecture, driver development, peripheral integration, communication protocol implementation, and real-time control.

I enjoy working close to the hardware while also understanding higher-level software architecture. I take technical ownership of projects — from initial architecture decisions through system integration, testing, and documentation.

Engineering Passion

The problems that keep me engaged are the ones where software meets silicon — where a wrong register write crashes a motor controller and a correct one makes a vehicle move.
