Working on a Raspberry Pi-based CAN interface in the Tachograph Electronics R&D team. My current work focuses on the power supply, input protection, component selection, and schematic design in KiCad. The next steps are PCB layout, prototype bring-up, and bench testing of the power supply and CAN communication. Bachelor’s thesis in collaboration with Ravensburg-Weingarten University of Applied Sciences.

• Analyzed Galileo OSNMA signal authentication for tachograph GNSS receivers using a Septentrio mosaic-X5 reference receiver and Spirent GSS7000 simulator. • Built an autonomous Raspberry Pi GNSS data logger with Python, dual UART, systemd, and GPS time synchronization for test drives. • Evaluated tachograph motion-sensor data and developed Python filter algorithms to reduce false triggers. • Produced internal setup and test documentation for the development team.

• Produced technical writing and documentation in LaTeX. • Conducted research assignments and organized technical information for university work.

Focus areas: power electronics, microcontrollers, electronics, robotics, and automotive engineering. Selected projects: • Designed a complete PCB in KiCad from schematic capture through layout. • Programmed KUKA robot motion, object recognition, and sorting in simulation, then tested it on a real
