AI and Embedded Software Enthusiast

About

Engineering reliable software with modern execution.

My experience spans the full software lifecycle, from requirements engineering and software architecture through to C++ development, TDD/BDD-based testing, host & target based validation, documentation and CI pipeline delivery. I am particularly interested in embedded software, AI engineering, cloud-native applications and data visualisation & analysis.

What I focus on

I focus on building reliable, maintainable software that connects strong engineering principles with real user value. I’m especially interested in embedded systems, real-time data, telemetry, developer tools, interactive dashboards, protocol parsing, automation and AI-assisted workflows. I enjoy working on projects where performance, clarity, testing and clean architecture matter just as much as the final user experience.
