I am a senior embedded systems engineer specializing in firmware architecture, real-time software development, FPGA design, and electronics engineering, with 15+ years of hands-on experience building complex, performance-critical embedded platforms. My technical expertise spans the entire embedded stack, including bare-metal firmware, Embedded Linux (Yocto), FPGA logic (VHDL), digital control systems, and electronic design. I work extensively with C, C++, C#, VHDL, Python, and have deep familiarity with toolchains such as Quartus, Vivado, Libero SoC, Simulink HDL Coder, Altium Designer, PADS, Fusion, LTSpice, and a wide ecosystem of debugging, simulation, and verification tools.
My skill set includes creating scalable firmware architectures, designing real-time data pipelines, developing algorithms for image processing and UI/graphics rendering, implementing embedded Computer Vision and Machine Learning modules, and optimizing system performance under strict latency, memory, and power constraints. I design deterministic embedded systems that integrate microcontrollers, SoCs, FPGAs, high-speed sensors, and mixed-signal electronics. I am experienced in building custom drivers, communication stacks, timer/scheduler frameworks, DSP algorithms, and hardware abstraction layers supporting efficient multi-module embedded architectures.
In FPGA development, I work with VHDL to implement image-processing blocks, sensor interfaces, buffering architectures, and high-throughput digital datapaths. My experience includes HDL simulation, timing closure, synthesis optimization, IP integration, and model-based development using Simulink for HDL generation. I frequently integrate firmware and FPGA components to create tightly coupled embedded pipelines.
My hardware engineering background includes schematic capture, PCB layout supervision, power-electronics integration, high-speed digital design, analog conditioning circuits, and comprehensive EMI/EMC design and testing. I use LTSpice and MATLAB/Simulink for modeling system behavior, digital control loops, and converter topologies. I have overseen board bring-up, signal integrity validation, compliance testing, and hardware -firmware co-debugging in complex electromechanical systems.
I also develop tooling and desktop applications using .NET WinForms, Qt, and the Win32 API, enabling diagnostic interfaces, configuration utilities, and visualization tools that support embedded development. My workflow includes Git-based version control, CI-friendly documentation practices, structured firmware release processes, and requirements-driven engineering approaches.
My work is further supported by multiple granted and pending patents in electronics, control systems, and surge protection technologies. Throughout my career, I have consistently integrated multidisciplinary skills - firmware, FPGA, hardware, modeling, and testing - to deliver reliable, high-performance embedded solutions.
