What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build robust, power-efficient low-level software for safety-critical embedded and electric-vehicle applications.

At TVS Motor Company, I build firmware for S32K144-based electric-vehicle battery management systems.

I develop SPI, CAN, UART, ADC, and insulation-monitoring software, collaborating with hardware teams to validate power domains, debug implementations, and analyze schematics.

I design algorithms for State of Charge, State of Health, and cell balancing, while monitoring battery and ASIC parameters for ASIL-D systems and detecting single-point and latent faults.

I also integrated a UDS stack and built a Python Tkinter GUI for CAN flashing, reducing flashing time to 50 percent. Earlier, at Texas Instruments, I used Ansys Icepak and JEDEC standards to evaluate thermal resistance and improve QFN and ISOWATT packaging safety.
