What I'm looking for

I'm open to relocating for Senior Embedded Linux and platform roles in Germany, Austria, or the Netherlands.

At ProSoft, I led the migration of a 3M+ line industrial controller firmware codebase from QNX to Real-Time Linux (PREEMPT_RT), removing about $150 per unit in OS licensing fees. I worked on kernel configuration and the cross-compilation toolchain as the Linux-based units moved into pre-production validation.

I designed a brokerless IPC framework connecting 20+ independent processes at 3k+ messages per second. I also designed a secure developer-access mechanism and backport CVE fixes into the codebase while contributing to an upstream Linux LTS kernel security-patch effort.

On my independent project, EtazhyLab, I designed hardware and C++ embedded firmware for self-check-in terminals and took the product into commercial operation. More than 1,000 units were deployed with 99.9% operational uptime; I also handled OTA updates, remote diagnostics, CI, and automated tests.

Earlier at ProSoft, I developed a secure C++ web-configuration server and network-security subsystems, and built HMI and diagnostic administration components. At Building Design CUBE, I wrote C# plugins for Autodesk Revit that automated BIM workflow steps and cut design turnaround time by 10%.
