What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I build embedded/edge systems, secure hardware, and data pipelines—collaborating on testing, debugging, and continuous improvement with room to grow into ML-informed engineering.

I build embedded systems that turn real-world signals into reliable, measurable outcomes. From secure hardware crypto wallet firmware to edge analytics on energy meters, I focus on correctness, performance, and maintainability—backed by disciplined testing and debugging.

At Faucet Labs (Cypherock), I designed secure ownership-transfer architecture using embedded C on STM32, built crypto transaction pipelines using Embedded C, TypeScript, and Python, and supported the hardware team through firmware issue resolution and mentorship. At Avrio Energy, I improved voltage/current harmonics accuracy for ML, delivered edge microservices with ~1s latency using SPI and Ethernet, and created an MQTT/OTA workflow via a Yocto environment and AWS EC2.

I also bring protocol and validation depth from my Hypertherm Associates intern work, where I developed diagnostic test procedures using Embedded C and PLC on a Hilscher board and performed EtherCAT protocol certification testing. I’m excited to keep growing at the intersection of embedded engineering, IoT data pipelines, and signal processing for ML.
