Embedded Software Engineer @ Whybox \| Developing Embedded Voice Assistant Systems

## About

Embedded Software Engineer with 4\+ years of hands\-on experience designing and developing firmware for microcontroller\-based systems across energy metering, industrial instrumentation, and IoT domains\. I write production\-grade embedded C/C\+\+ for STM32, NXP LPC, 8051, PIC, and Nordic platforms\. My core expertise lies in real\-time operating systems \(FreeRTOS\), bare\-metal firmware development, and integrating communication protocols — SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, RS232, RS485, BLE, MQTT, and DLMS/COSEM\. Currently at WhyBox, I'm architecting an embedded voice assistant system that integrates Speech\-to\-Text \(STT\), Large Language Model \(LLM\) inference, and Text\-to\-Speech \(TTS\) pipelines on resource\-constrained embedded hardware — working at the intersection of embedded systems and edge AI\. Previously, I've delivered production firmware for certified energy meters, portable reference standards \(TPRS/SPRS\), and embedded vision systems\. I've led platform migrations from NXP LPC to STM32, implemented DLMS protocol stacks for smart meter communication, and built MQTT\-based telemetry pipelines for IoT devices\. What I work with daily: Languages: Embedded C, C, C\+\+, Python MCUs: STM32 \(Cortex\-M\), NXP LPC, 8051, PIC, Nordic nRF, Renesas RTOS: FreeRTOS, Bare\-metal Programming Protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, RS232, RS485, CAN, BLE, Wi\-Fi, MQTT, DLMS Tools: STM32CubeIDE, Keil uVision, Git, CMake, JTAG/SWD, DSO
