Profile

Embedded systems, designed like immersive experiences.

Firmware, AI, and connected hardware balanced with human intuition. I translate mission-critical ideas into reliable, expressive products.

Signal processing, intelligent control, seamless UX.

Embedded Systems Engineer & AI Enthusiast

Adept leader orchestrating firmware and edge-computing programs that marry deterministic performance with adaptive intelligence. Formal training in Deep Learning & Computer Vision fuels my ability to deploy models on constrained hardware without compromises.

From MCUs and MPUs to Embedded Linux (Raspbian, Yocto) and RTOS (Zephyr), I design secure boot chains, OTA infrastructures, and ultra-low-power architectures that scale from prototypes to certified products.
