I am an Embedded Software Engineer with two years of professional experience, specializing in the intersection of firmware development and physical hardware layout. I excel at taking concepts from a functional schematic to a production-ready PCB and developing the high-performance firmware to run it. Hardware Design & Layout Excellence Precision PCB Layout: Expert in KiCad for board routing, footprint creation, and 3D modeling, ensuring compact and efficient designs. Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Specialized in generating full manufacturing suites (Gerbers, BOM, CPL) and ensuring boards are ready for professional fabrication. Reverse Engineering & Iteration: Skilled at taking existing Gerber files or basic layouts and optimizing them for better performance, size reduction, or signal integrity. Firmware Development & Low-Level Programming Architecture: Proficient in Bare Metal programming and HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) for fine-tuned control over MCU peripherals and power consumption. Frameworks: Extensive experience with the Arduino framework for rapid prototyping and deployment. Platform Expertise: Skilled in developing across both Linux and Windows environments for a versatile workflow. Peripheral Integration: Deep experience interfacing with sensors and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART) to build functional, real-world applications.
