About

I’m a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer with 8+ years of experience building embedded products across hardware, firmware, and IoT. Currently working as a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer on projects for PhonePe, where I design and develop firmware for smart and connected IoT devices. My work spans firmware architecture, embedded C/C++, RTOS-based systems, hardware–firmware integration, peripheral interfaces, connectivity, debugging, and system-level development. My engineering journey started with hardware—designing circuits, developing PCBs, working with sensors and communication interfaces, and bringing prototypes to life. Over the years, I moved deeper into firmware development, where I found the intersection of hardware and software that makes embedded products truly work. Having worked across both hardware and software, I enjoy solving problems at the boundary between the two—where understanding the electronics is just as important as writing the firmware. My core areas of experience include: • Embedded C/C++ and firmware architecture • RTOS-based embedded systems and multitasking • ESP32 and other microcontroller platforms • IoT connectivity and communication protocols • BLE, Wi-Fi, cellular, MQTT and other network technologies • Hardware–firmware integration and board bring-up • Peripheral interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, GPIO, ADC and PWM • Embedded Linux and system-level development • Cloud-connected IoT systems and device communication • Firmware debugging, optimization and reliability • Secure and maintainable embedded product development Before my current role, I worked extensively on IoT products and embedded systems, including data loggers, controllers, gateways, connected devices, and custom hardware platforms. I have been involved across the product lifecycle—from hardware design and prototyping to firmware development, system integration, debugging, and deployment. I’m particularly interested in building products that combine embedded systems, connectivity, and intelligent software to solve real-world problems. I enjoy understanding systems from the ground up and turning complex requirements into reliable, production-ready products. I’m always interested in connecting with engineers, product builders, and technology leaders working on embedded systems, IoT, connected devices, and next-generation hardware products.
