Embedded Systems and Robotics Engineer building STM32 firmware and a vision-guided humanoid chef robot.

On my Deterministic EV Charging System project, I developed STM32L4 firmware in Embedded C using FreeRTOS for deterministic task scheduling. I also organized the firmware architecture across drivers, application logic, and RTOS middleware.

For my Humanoid Chef Robot graduation project, I developed ingredient recognition with YOLOv8 and depth-based 3D localization, then connected object positions to MoveIt for robotic-arm pick-and-place actions. I led a 13-member team through the project lifecycle.

I’m currently extending the robot’s perception-to-manipulation pipeline to ROS 2, integrating YOLO11 instance segmentation, depth-based localization, MoveIt 2, and Gazebo simulation.

My other projects include an ATmega32-based smart medical device for heart-rate and temperature monitoring, and a smart home system integrating sensors with automated controls. As a freelance programming instructor, I taught C, C++, and Python fundamentals.
