What I'm looking for

I seek roles that blend embedded firmware and cloud/backend development, offer customer-facing technical impact, and provide opportunities for technical leadership and continuous learning.

I am a senior software engineer with over nine years of experience building embedded firmware, IoT services, and cloud-backed SaaS features. I have led publicly released SDKs and demos, engineered scalable microservices on Kubernetes and AWS EKS, and delivered bare-metal and RTOS-based device prototypes while supporting customers through workshops and events.

I combine low-level embedded expertise (C, C++, assembler, RTOS) with backend and cloud development (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, AWS, Docker), and have driven certification, pre-sales technical efforts, and hiring activities. I am results-oriented, customer-facing, and committed to continuous learning and applying cutting-edge technologies to solve real-world problems.
