I bridge the gap between high-level software rigor and low-level firmware. I apply 3+ years of experience in Software Development to build modular, testable, and production-ready firmware.
- Languages: Embedded C, C++, Python (Scripting/Testing).
- RTOS & Kernels: Zephyr RTOS, FreeRTOS, Bare-Metal (Super-Loops).
- Protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, CAN Bus, BLE.
- Architectures: ARM Cortex-M (STM32), ESP32, AVR.
- In-Circuit Debugging: JTAG/SWD (ST-Link, J-Link) for real-time memory inspection.
- Analysis: Logic Analyzers, Oscilloscopes, Multimeters to verify signal integrity.
- Reliability: Watchdog Timers (WDT), DMA-driven Data Transfer, and ISR Optimization.
- CI/CD: Automated Firmware Builds and Unit Testing (Unity/CMock).
- Containers: Docker for reproducible, hardware-agnostic build environments.
- Version Control: Git used for instrumenting and iterating on firmware revisions.
- Bare Metal & RTOS: Deep diving into deterministic scheduling and memory management.
- STM32 Ecosystem: Mastering HAL/LL drivers and peripheral configuration.
- Embedded Security: Learning secure boot, hardware-based encryption (TEE/TrustZone), and firmware integrity.
- Advanced Linux: Exploring kernel modules, device drivers, and Yocto Project for embedded Linux systems.

Coming from a background as an SDE means I don't just "make it work"; I treat firmware like a production system—modular, versioned, and built to fail gracefully.
