What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build and optimize embedded firmware or scalable full-stack systems, work with cross-functional teams, and drive automation and performance improvements.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience across embedded systems and full-stack web development, building firmware for microcontrollers and scalable web applications.

I have designed and implemented firmware for solar inverters, GSM single-phase electric meters, and multi-layer communication stacks (COSEM/DLMS, HDLC, PRIME), and led deployment pilots for smart meters.

On the web side, I engineer full-stack solutions using React, Node.js, Django, Python, and PostgreSQL, delivering features like JWT authentication, search, reservation and payment flows, multimedia-enabled reporting with geolocation, and admin dashboards.

I focus on performance, maintainability and automation—optimizing code and RAM in embedded projects, automating builds with Jenkins, and delivering robust RESTful APIs and scalable data-driven applications.
