At Simply Embedded, I played a key role in developing robust firmware solutions for IoT wearables and smart energy metering projects. My responsibilities spanned the full firmware lifecycle, from driver development for key peripherals (modem, display, touch, secure element) to GUI implementation using LVGL. I collaborated closely with electrical engineers to integrate STM32U5 PCBA designs and debugged hardware issues using tools like logic analyzers and oscilloscopes. Additionally, I led API integrations, troubleshooting network connectivity challenges, and implemented automation systems to streamline device commissioning processes.I also mentored interns, guiding them through firmware development and project tasks, while managing their work with Jira. I actively participated in trade shows, generating sales leads and presenting technical solutions to potential clients. My leadership extended to managing complex projects like long-range RFID integration and contributing to firmware testing with QEMU hardware emulation, ensuring robust, error-resilient communication between devices. My work consistently focused on delivering high-quality, reliable firmware in tight timelines while collaborating across global teams.
