Embedded Systems & Electronics Engineer · IoT Specialist · Hardware Developer
I turn ideas into working hardware — circuits, firmware and sensors wired up to the cloud. From water-treatment monitoring to a lower-limb exoskeleton, I build at hackathons and keep iterating on the bench until the LED finally blinks the way it should.
Engineer who builds
the physical future.
An enthusiast who loves to explore and arrive at innovative solutions — solving real-time challenges with state-of-the-art technology.
A full-stack hardware toolkit.
From the soldering iron to the dashboard — I own the whole path from sensor to screen.
🔧 Other
Things I've designed & shipped.
Hardware built under deadline, judged by panels, and tested on real people.
Solar + Thermoelectric Energy Harvester
A hybrid harvester combining photovoltaic and thermoelectric generation with an MPPT front-end to power low-energy IoT nodes off-grid.
Smart Helmet
A connected helmet with crash detection, alcohol sensing and ignition interlock — automatically alerts emergency contacts with GPS location.
ESP32-CAM Barcode & Environment Monitor
A compact edge device that scans barcodes and logs temperature, humidity and air quality to a live dashboard over Wi-Fi.
Bluetooth-Controlled Car
A differential-drive robot car controlled from a custom mobile app, with obstacle avoidance and adjustable speed profiles.
LoRa IoT Node
A low-power, long-range sensor node relaying field telemetry kilometres back to a gateway — built for agriculture and remote monitoring.
Home Automation Hub
A voice- and app-controlled hub that ties lights, appliances and sensors into scenes with local-first, cloud-optional control.
