What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and growth, where I can apply my skills in embedded systems and cybersecurity while contributing to impactful projects.

I am an Embedded Software Engineer with a strong passion for discovering new technologies and delivering high-quality results. Currently, I work at Valeo as an Embedded Linux Engineer, where I contribute to cybersecurity features and collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate advanced systems. My experience includes bringing up multiple Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and implementing secure communication protocols, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

In addition to my technical skills, I have served as a MATLAB and Model Based Design Instructor, where I taught students the fundamentals of MATLAB and guided them through real-world embedded applications. My background in embedded systems is complemented by a Bachelor's degree in Electromechanical Engineering and a diploma in Embedded Systems. I am dedicated to continuous learning and sharing knowledge with others, which I believe is crucial in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
