Embedded systems software developer at Upwork building C++ IoT telemetry pipelines and radar traffic monitoring nodes.

Pakistan

Message

At Upwork, I developed IoT telemetry pipelines, radar-based traffic monitoring nodes, and touch-enabled edge device software in C++ and Python. I also optimized memory architecture and firmware performance on embedded Linux and RTOS targets.

At eSpark Consulting Group, I designed and deployed real-time C and C++ embedded software for Linux-compatible and microcontroller targets, integrating sensor peripherals and radar presence detection systems.

I built an XM125 radar traffic and presence monitoring system with event packet serialization, persistent local storage, and Python parsing scripts. I’m currently pursuing an M.E. in Computer Networks & Computer Security at NED University of Engineering and Technology.
