Embedded Firmware Engineer | STM32 · FreeRTOS · ARM · Embedded Linux | MS @ Virginia Tech

About

I build the software that makes hardware come alive. As an Embedded Firmware Engineer with 2+ years of experience, I specialize in turning complex hardware requirements into reliable, efficient firmware, from bare-metal STM32 drivers to real-time systems running on FreeRTOS. I recently completed my MS in Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech and hold a BE in Electronics & Communication Engineering. My work spans: Firmware architecture for STM32 (F4/L4) — protocol stacks, storage subsystems, USB CDC drivers Robotics software — OpenCV on ARM, TensorFlow integration, real-world robot deployment Full-stack embedded — from microcontroller firmware all the way up to Linux kernel drivers I'm comfortable across the whole stack: C/Embedded C/C++, communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN, BLE, UART, USB), RTOS design, and secure embedded Linux. What drives me is building systems that are not just functional, but deterministic, resilient, and production-ready , the kind that don't fail in the field. 📍 Based in Bangalore | Open to full-time embedded/firmware roles globally 📩 Let's connect — sanjana.aps@gmail.com
