Staff Software Engineer specializing in embedded systems, firmware, and product reliability.
What I'm looking for
I am a Staff Software Engineer with deep experience designing and delivering embedded firmware, device drivers, and system integrations for laser, automotive, and industrial products.
I have led firmware feature development on STM32 platforms, implemented device drivers and logging modules, and drove integrations using protocols such as Modbus, CAN, LIN, UART and I2C while improving product reliability and test coverage.
I collaborate cross-functionally with production, hardware and test teams to reduce time-to-test and field defects, having delivered measurable improvements like reduced testing time, increased reliability, and faster prototyping.
