What I'm looking for

I seek roles building low-latency C++ systems or embedded firmware where I can improve performance, strengthen security, and work collaboratively with distributed teams.

I am a C++ engineer with hands-on experience building real-time, systems-level software for backend platforms and embedded devices. I have designed low-latency message routing using shared memory and event-driven architectures, integrated gRPC/Protocol Buffers, and applied performance benchmarking to optimize throughput and latency.

At Afiniti I maintained a core Interaction Manager service, migrated legacy modules to modern C++ standards, and achieved strong unit-test coverage using GTest/GMock and SonarQube practices. Previously I worked on secure boot and TPM validation, QEMU hardware emulation, RAUC-based OTA images, and firmware development for embedded Linux targets.

I bring a security-focused embedded background—PCB prototyping, firmware reverse engineering, vulnerability assessments, and IoT audits—paired with cloud-aware, production-grade C++ engineering practices. I collaborate effectively with distributed teams and follow clean architecture and coding standards to deliver reliable, testable systems.
