Lorenz Forbes
@lorenzforbes
Electrical and computer engineer focused on embedded systems, hardware-software integration, and testing.
What I'm looking for
I am a recent Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate specializing in embedded systems with hands-on experience in hardware and software integration, system validation, and technical documentation. I have developed microcontroller- and FPGA-based projects, used oscilloscopes and debugging tools, and produced comprehensive project artifacts such as Gantt charts, UML diagrams, and system architecture.
I combine practical hardware skills—soldering, PCB work, multimeters, and experience with STM32, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino—with software proficiency in C, C++, Python, VHDL/Verilog, and Git to build reliable prototypes and products. I am curious, detail-oriented, honest, and accountable, and I quickly learn new concepts to contribute effectively to engineering teams.
