About

I'm an Electronics and Communication Engineering graduate specializing in embedded systems and firmware development, with hands-on experience building real-time, hardware-integrated systems from the ground up. I completed an 8-month, industry-oriented Advanced Embedded Systems Certification at Emertxe Information Technologies, covering bare-metal MCU programming, RTOS fundamentals, and multi-protocol communication (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN). During this program I designed and built four independent embedded/IoT projects: - IoT-based LPG tanker safety system (Raspberry Pi 3B+) — real-time gas leak and rollover detection using an MQ-6 gas sensor and tilt sensor, with Bluetooth-based location alerts and Pi Camera incident capture - Automotive black box (PIC18F4580) — logged speed, collision status, and gear shifts to circular EEPROM storage over I2C, with event retrieval via UART - CAN-based temperature monitoring system (LPC1768, ARM Cortex-M3) — ADC sensor acquisition, LCD display, and threshold-based alerting over a CAN network - LSB image steganography tool in C — bitwise encode/decode logic for hiding data inside BMP images I later worked as a Technical Support Engineer at Cisoft Technologies, diagnosing hardware and OS-level failures across Windows and Linux environments — experience that sharpened the debugging discipline I now apply to firmware-level root-cause analysis. Core stack: Embedded C/C++, Python, PIC18F4580, LPC1768, Arduino, 8051, Raspberry Pi 3B+, UART/SPI/I2C/CAN, MPLAB X, Keil uVision, Proteus, Git Looking for an entry-level Embedded Systems Engineer, Firmware Engineer, or IoT Engineer role where I can bring this hands-on, project-driven foundation to building reliable, real-time embedded products. 📧 pkpranav11@gmail.com | Bengaluru, Karnataka
