What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a challenging role that values creativity, ownership, and deep technical problem-solving—where I can build secure IoT and embedded firmware, deliver reliable wireless connectivity, and improve real-world product performance.

I’m a Firmware Developer with 3+ years of experience in embedded systems, specializing in IoT, wireless connectivity, and medical device firmware development. I focus on dependable protocol implementation, secure communication, and production-ready engineering practices.

At VR Della Smart Tech, I built an OTA firmware update mechanism with secure rollback and version management, plus encryption/decryption modules for local storage and data transmission. I designed WLAN communication in STA mode with mDNS-based hostname resolution, implemented a non-blocking TCP socket server for low-latency data transfer, and integrated REST API and MQTT for mobile and cloud interactions using an RTOS-based multitasking structure.

I’ve also driven IoT product capabilities like MQTT control/status logic and safe OTA packet handling for a home automation smart switch, including persistent state retention and power-loss recovery. I value ownership and deep technical problem-solving—recognized by a Quarterly Excellence Award and as a co-inventor on a patent application for ECG data analysis.
