@mahmoudshamsel-din
Embedded software engineer focused on automotive IoT, secure firmware, and full-stack system integration.
EgyptWhat I'm looking for
I am an embedded software engineer specializing in automotive applications and IoT, blending firmware development with full-stack expertise to deliver production-ready systems.
I have developed firmware for STM32 and ESP32 (bare-metal and FreeRTOS), built OTA pipelines, optimized low-power operation, and integrated communication protocols such as UART and MQTT.
My full-stack experience (MERN) and freelance front-end work strengthened my system architecture, API design, and agile collaboration skills, while penetration-testing experience improved my secure development practices.
I deliver well-documented, safety-conscious designs inspired by AUTOSAR methodologies, with hands-on projects including a smart rear-view mirror, automated vertical parking, and multi-ECU automotive door control systems.
