About

Software developer for embedded devices, mainly in C and C++ with 10 years of professional experience. I have worked on hardware ranging from barebone 8-bit microcontrollers to embedded Linux powered ARM System-on-chips with controls such as keypads and touch screens. For the latter, I worked on GUIs using Qt/QML. In addition to my skills in coding, I have also written product requirements, software specifications as well as reports to customers about the project status. I enjoy teamwork and algorithmic challenges fueled by black coffee with a hint of sugar.
