## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking for a junior Linux kernel role where I can deepen my understanding of OS internals under mentorship.
```

## About

```text
At Meen Motors, I write and maintain C++ firmware for a Teensy 4.1 vehicle controller, covering UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, and USB CDC.

I bring up and deploy vehicle systems on Ubuntu hosts and Raspberry Pi, flashing MCUs, debugging failures across firmware and Linux, and maintaining reproducible tooling under Git. I also built an Ubuntu Python daemon that manages USB serial communication, telemetry, commands, and automated pytest coverage.

I've designed KiCad PCBs and sensing hardware, built safety-focused embedded projects, and deliver client software remotely through Vara. I'm looking to deepen my OS internals skills in a junior Linux kernel role under mentorship.
