Professional Summary
Embedded and robotics engineer with four years of embedded C and C++ across automotive and telecom: AUTOSAR diagnostics, embedded Linux telematics and safety-critical firmware on a multi-core SoC. Since 2023, creator of SWARM, a low-cost real-time monitoring network with a bench-measured radio link and a fourteen-node response recorded in simulation. Seeking a research master’s in real-time monitoring systems. I say what is measured, what is simulated, and what is still a target.
