Modem firmware (Quectel EG200, OpenCPU): - Designed and developed a FOTA application and the modem-side update flow for a connected-vehicle platform. - Built the communication stacks required by large applications: HTTP, MQTT, network stack and UART stack. - Implemented geofencing that raises an alarm when the vehicle leaves defined boundaries. Virtual ECU: - Contributed to a virtual ECU project on Arm virtual hardware, successfully demonstrating two controllers communicating in a network. - Performed faul

- Developed a production-grade MCAL global RAM protection driver for Renesas RH850 using the MPU, preventing data corruption in ASIL-B safety-critical software. - Designed and validated inter-core communication (ICC) frameworks for multi-core automotive ECUs. - Built Python/PyQt tooling and Python/Perl automation for ICC routines and configuration generation, reducing integration effort and manual errors.

- Designed and tested Simulink-based embedded models for dsPIC33EP microcontrollers using MPLAB Device Blocks for Simulink. - Implemented PWM generation, ADC-based duty cycle control, UART data transfer and abc–dq0 transformation for three-phase systems. - Automated embedded C code and MPLAB X project generation; wrote a technical guide that improved onboarding for new engineers.

Developed expertise in embedded systems programming, PCB design, and robotics applications. Designed and fabricated custom PCBs in Altium Designer, integrating sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers into efficient robotic platforms. Programmed Atmega16, PIC and STM32 microcontrollers using the C language for real-time signal processing, automation, and hardware control. Integrated diverse sensors and actuators (IR, ultrasonic, proximity, motor drivers) to achieve autonomous navigation and contr

- Designed and deployed a SCADA system for a pilot water treatment plant, including HMI, data logging and alarm management. - Programmed Siemens PLCs (Ladder Logic, FBD) and established an OPC-UA link between the Ignition HMI and the PLC.
