Embedded software engineer specializing in Rust, low-level systems, and IoT.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am an embedded software engineer focused on low-level programming, hardware–software integration, and system optimization, with advanced proficiency in Rust, C, and C++ for embedded and systems programming.
I have built firmware and control software for IoT devices, robotics, and telemetry systems — notable projects include a Rust-based environmental sensor node using FreeRTOS and LoRaWAN, an autonomous rover with a Rust/C hybrid firmware that improved sensor polling efficiency by 30%, and a secure bootloader for ARM Cortex-M that reduced update time by 40%.
I bring hands-on experience with Embedded Linux, ARM Cortex-M, RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), cross-compilation, hardware debugging (GDB, JTAG), Docker/CI workflows, and Python tooling; I am highly adaptable, team-oriented, and motivated by clean, performant, memory-safe designs.
