What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role building embedded systems or low-latency backend services where I can improve performance, create reproducible build systems, and contribute to maintainable, standards-compliant software.

I am a C++ developer with experience building firmware, embedded Linux systems, and low-latency microservices. I have contributed to firmware for ISP devices, refactored and separated services into microservices to reduce latency, and built tooling and systems for video remuxing, restreaming, and authentication.

I deliver practical, standards-compliant solutions across embedded and backend domains, create build systems with CMake for multiple platforms, and automate testing and data collection pipelines. I work well in teams and focus on maintainability, performance, and reproducible builds.
