About

Hybrid engineer who ships

I don't fit neatly into one box. I design circuits, write bare-metal firmware, architect real-time systems, and build high-performance 3D engines.

My work has directly contributed to multi-million dollar fundraising rounds at early-stage startups by delivering the core technology that validates the product.

I thrive in environments where the technical problems are hard, the stakes are high, and the team is small. Whether it's processing billions of 3D points in real-time or designing firmware for a new hardware product, I focus on what matters: building the thing that works.

"Senior engineer" isn't just about years—it's about ownership, depth, and impact.

Core Capabilities

What I build

Embedded Systems & Firmware

Bare-metal firmware, RTOS, ARM Cortex microcontrollers. I2C, SPI, UART, CAN. Hardware bring-up and low-level debugging.

Hardware & Circuit Design

Circuit design, schematics, prototyping. Sensor integration and analog/digital systems. From concept to production-ready hardware.

Real-Time Systems

High-performance systems processing billions of data points. Real-time rendering, streaming, and animation pipelines.

3D Graphics & Point Clouds

Large-scale point cloud processing, real-time 3D rendering, VR modules. OpenGL/Vulkan graphics pipelines.

Performance Engineering

C/C++ optimization, memory-efficient architectures, and scalable system design. Focus on production-grade code.

Technical Leadership

Architecture decisions, technical strategy, and cross-functional collaboration. Leading small, high-impact teams.
