I build embedded Linux platforms, automation, and reliable hardware-integrated engineering systems.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I've spent 15+ years building low-level software, Linux systems, embedded platforms, and automation. In my current role at a large telecommunications/IT company, I lead an engineering team while remaining hands-on with complex technical work.
I designed and developed an automated test platform for set-top boxes supporting 100+ devices, including remote device access, REST APIs, CI/CD pipelines, a web interface, and hardware integration. I built server- and client-side architecture, Docker-based infrastructure, firmware deployment automation, and GitLab CI/CD workflows.
At Kraftway Corporation, I developed secure boot solutions, BSP components, Linux and UEFI drivers, USB communication protocols, and power-management software for PCs, laptops, servers, and tablets. I also ported projects to KasperskyOS and integrated firmware builds into a Yocto-based environment.
Earlier, I developed inertial navigation algorithms and embedded software for UAV systems, working across sensor integration, real-time data acquisition, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and flight testing. I enjoy working close to hardware while building tools and infrastructure that make engineering faster and more reliable.
