What I do

From silicon to cloud

I work across the full stack of a connected product so the hand-offs between hardware, firmware, and cloud never become the cracks where things break.

Embedded firmware

Robust, low-power firmware on ESP32, STM32 and friends. RTOS, drivers, and OTA done right.

FreeRTOSC/C++OTA

KiCadSensorsPower

Edge & cloud

MQTT pipelines, edge intelligence, and dashboards that turn raw telemetry into decisions.
