What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build embedded + application software end-to-end—robotics, IoT, and safety-minded systems—using C/C++, Qt, and modern tooling, in a team that values standards, clarity, and delivery.

I’m an Embedded Software Engineer and Software Engineer focused on building reliable systems across embedded firmware and desktop applications. My work spans IoT devices, motor control, and robotics planning, with a strong emphasis on standards-driven engineering.

At ELAPHE PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES, I developed software for in-wheel motor testing devices and insulation measurement, built OSGi bundles for Eurotech Gateway, and implemented PCU modules following MISRA C 2012 and AUTOSAR (including Aurix TriCore). I also researched ISO26262 Functional Safety (HARA part) for my master’s thesis and supported teams across IT.

At ENDAVA, I’ve planned software to control a robotic unit for biopsy needle positioning using CT scans, leveraging Qt/C++, VTK, ITK, and OpenCV. I’ve also built LWIP abstraction over BSD sockets, wrapping TCP/UDP interfaces, and continue to expand my impact through an ongoing infotainment project (CAN bus/UART/GPS with Qt5, boot2qt, and Yocto) and full-stack application work (Qt/C++ with Docker) at YODABI.
