🛠️ Primary interests: Embedded Linux, CLI & Dev Tools, Rust, System Reliability
I specialize in building reliable, maintainable systems-level software. My work spans:
- Embedded Linux services and system interaction
- Developer tools and CLI utilities for diagnosing and controlling systems
- Rust-based software with strong error handling and observability
My goal is to bridge low-level system control with robust tooling, enabling reliable embedded and platform software.
Digital stopwatch project using LPC2148 ARM7 microcontroller with keypad input and LCD display. A solid example of interrupt-driven firmware logic and embedded design. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
PIC16F877A-based controller for two DC motors via H-bridge with visual feedback on hardware displays — demonstrates embedded control loops.
Current monitoring prototype using ADC thresholds — foundational analog + digital system integration.
Shell-based tool for monitoring and parsing logs — my first step toward reliable developer tooling for systems observability.
(More Rust-centric tooling coming soon — focusing on structured logging, config, and failure recovery.)
- Languages: C (embedded), Rust (systems), Bash/Shell
- Systems: Linux userspace programming, process lifecycle, logging, error handling
- Tools: CLI design, structured output, configuration, testing
- Hardware: MCU interaction, GPIO/serial protocols, real-time control loops
I’m actively working toward:
- A Rust-based Linux service + CLI tool for embedded device control and observability
- Demonstrating failure handling and diagnosability in a real-world application
- Building developer tooling artifacts that show clear engineering intent
This aligns with roles such as Embedded Linux Engineer and Developer Tools / CLI Engineer.
