What I'm looking for

I seek Rust-first embedded or systems roles focused on Linux kernel, low-latency and safety-critical software, with options for remote, hybrid, or on-site work and opportunity to contribute to open-source.

I am an Embedded & Systems Software Engineer with deep expertise in Rust, C, and C++, focused on low-latency systems, embedded platforms, and Linux environments. I contribute actively to the open-source Rust ecosystem and publish system-level crates.

My professional background spans mission-critical projects in aerospace, telecom, and automotive domains, including flight-critical UAV software, ECU virtualization for BMW, and networked IoT gateways. I have implemented device communications (CAN, LIN, UART, MIL-STD-1553B, ARINC-429) and built performance-sensitive components and tools.

I seek roles where I can drive Rust-first embedded and kernel-level development, optimize real-time and multithreaded systems, and continue delivering robust, safety-critical software while contributing to open-source projects.
