About

I’m an Electrical & Electronics Engineer focused on embedded systems and product development. I currently work as a Product Development Engineer at Arlentus Control, contributing to RF-based wireless control systems and field-ready embedded products. Previously at Tarhund Electronics and Software, I worked on embedded bring-up, system validation, and low-level integration (including Yocto/Linux), collaborating with cross-functional teams and customer-driven projects. Core strengths • Embedded C / firmware development, debugging, and reliability improvements • Hardware revision compatibility (HW-FW alignment) and validation • Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and regression testing for field issues • Interfaces: UART/SPI/ I2C Version control and release discipline with Git I enjoy building robust products end-to-end turning real-world requirements into reliable embedded solutions.
