Description

I am an embedded systems and firmware engineer with 7+ years of experience spanning real-time firmware, hardware integration, and system reliability across control, robotics, and automated medical analyzer systems.

What I do best:

*Fix issues where code works in Debug mode but fails in Release mode (optimization, build flags, linker, memory/stack problems)

*Develop MCU drivers and low-level firmware in Embedded C (GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, DMA, timers, interrupts)

*Build IMU pipelines: sensor bring-up, correct scaling/units, calibration, and sensor fusion (EKF/complementary)

*Implement PID control loops for embedded applications

*Integrate inter-processor communication on heterogeneous systems (OpenAMP/libmetal, RPMsg)
