Embedded Firmware Engineer at ClemiosITOutsourcing, shipping C state machines for connected charging stations.
CameroonWhat I'm looking for
At ClemiosITOutsourcing, I ship production C state machines for connected charging stations, including Availability, Transactions, and NotifyEvent-class behaviour with multi-EVSE device-model updates.
I own firmware paths from local HAL and peripheral actions through session behaviour, and collaborate in GitLab CI with CMake, Docker, and integration testing. I also pair firmware with Python checks to surface regressions during soak runs.
On my personal HAL Embedded OS and driver library, I developed an event-driven C core for AVR and ESP32, with a shared HAL for GPIO, ADC, PWM, and I2C. My projects also include Smart Access Control, an ESP32 edge safety and offline path with a FastAPI backend, and DryMasterX, AVR thermal-control firmware.
Before firmware engineering, I repaired power-electronics assemblies, SMPS, and voltage-converter circuits at Petertronics. At CameroonDevelopmentCorporation (CDC), I resolved industrial motor failures, reverse-engineered wiring diagrams, and rewound industrial windings.
