What I'm looking for

I seek embedded firmware or systems roles where I can drive hardware bring-up, develop drivers and test automation, work on RF or automotive systems, and grow technically in a collaborative team.

I am an embedded systems engineer with hands-on experience developing firmware, device drivers, and production tooling across RF, automotive, and sensor platforms.

I have built and validated drivers for torque sensors, NR RF chipsets, and radar peripherals, and authored Python-based calibration and automated verification tooling to improve measurement reliability and release cadence.

My background includes debugging firmware for measurement instruments, LNA bias automation that reduced test time dramatically, and bring-up of converter and RF front-end modules with proposed test-plan improvements.

I hold a B.S. in Computer Engineering and have contributed to embedded projects including a high-speed ADC muon sensor for suborbital flight and head-motion wheelchair controls, demonstrating strong firmware, hardware bring-up, and system integration skills.
