What I'm looking for

I’m looking for C++ development work where I can apply embedded firmware, driver development, and Embedded Linux (Yocto) integration—building reliable IoT solutions with real-time performance and clean engineering practices.

I’m a Computer Engineering student specializing in embedded systems, currently doing a Firmware Development Internship focused on high-performance C++ firmware and real-time behavior. I build communication protocol stacks (SIP, RTP, RTSP, ONVIF) and improve Wi‑Fi connectivity for IoT devices in production.

Through Embedded Linux systems engineering with Yocto Project, I create customized distributions, work on kernel driver development, integrate bootloaders (U‑boot), and optimize the root filesystem. I also enjoy end-to-end development, from building user interfaces with Qt Framework and QML to using Docker, Git, and agile workflows (Scrum/Kanban).
