What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles driving embedded AI/ML development in automotive or robotics, focusing on production-ready firmware, ADAS, performance optimization, and opportunities to mentor and lead technical projects.

I am a software professional with over eight years of experience in AI/ML, automotive embedded systems, and firmware development. I bring strong language skills in C, C++, and Python with focused experience in embedded programming across multiple microcontrollers and RTOS/platforms.

I have contributed to projects for major automotive clients including Jaguar Land Rover and Ford, implementing UDS routines, converting Python to C++ for improved performance, and integrating C++ libraries into MATLAB for ADAS algorithm testing. I have worked on Adaptive AUTOSAR components and deployed CNN models onto Aurix microcontrollers.

My work includes developing real-time CNNs for eye-gaze detection using OpenCV and CUDA, reconstructing network architectures for real-time sound classification (emergency sirens and car horns), and engineering virtual road scenario simulations integrating LiDAR, radar, and visual sensors for ADAS validation.

I have led firmware and embedded projects, designed PCBs and trainer kits using Raspberry Pi and ESP32, conducted workshops on embedded systems and IoT, and mentored interns. I continually seek to optimize performance and deliver reliable, production-ready embedded AI solutions.
