What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior embedded/IoT roles where I can lead firmware and system architecture work, deliver scalable products, mentor engineers, and focus on robust, low-power, deployable solutions.

I am a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience delivering 50+ commercial deployments across smart home, industrial IoT, and environmental monitoring sectors. I specialize in firmware development, IoT architecture, wireless communications, low-power design, and HVDC/BMS solutions, and I lead cross-functional teams to build modular, production-grade embedded systems.

My work includes architecting a production-grade Hardware Abstraction Layer for industrial edge systems, developing ESP-NOW and high-speed UART-to-WebSocket solutions, designing modular IoT platforms and OTA systems, and engineering BMS solutions up to 800V. I focus on reusability, automated testing, and deployable manufacturing infrastructure to reduce time-to-market and ensure reliability.
