Here, I have been deeply involved in developing embedded and IoT solutions that bring real-world impact — from healthcare devices to smart consumer products and connected streaming systems. My work spans firmware, embedded Linux, low-power IoT, and cloud integration, giving me a strong end-to-end understanding of connected product development. Key contributions include: • Blood Analysis Device – automated complex fluid handling with RP2040 + Raspberry Pi, improving reliability of lab processes • Soil Analyser – designed an ultra-low-power LoRaWAN system on ESP32-C3 with multi-sensor integration and fail-safe data backup, enabling remote agricultural monitoring • Smart Mattress – delivered smart comfort control with Bluetooth connectivity and AWS IoT integration, enhancing user experience with adaptive heating/cooling • Streaming Device – implemented an FFmpeg-based RTMP streaming pipeline on a cellular Linux module for seamless live video delivery • IP Camera (ongoing) – building real-time video/audio streaming infrastructure (RTSP, TCP/UDP) on embedded Linux for surveillance use cases Throughout these projects, I have strengthened my expertise in RTOS (ESP-IDF), embedded Linux (Buildroot, OpenWrt), cross-compilation, networking (TCP/IP, sockets), and modern C++. I thrive at the intersection of hardware and software — creating scalable, reliable, and energy-efficient embedded systems that solve real user problems.
