About

I am an Electronic Engineer specialized in Embedded Systems, with broad cross-disciplinary skills across electronics. I started as a hardware designer, but I found my stride in software development. Curiosity and a constant drive to learn have taken me through many different sectors.

I enjoy working at the intersection of hardware and software, tackling challenges from motor control to user interfaces. I thrive in diverse teams and am always ready to pick up new tools and languages to deliver robust, maintainable solutions.
