Professional Summary
I design and deliver embedded firmware for IoT systems that must be secure, power-efficient, and operationally robust. Over 13+ years, I have led firmware architecture for connected devices across automotive, HVAC, healthcare, and smart lighting—helping teams move from prototype to production with reliable OTA updates, strong diagnostics, and lifecycle robustness. I have owned system architecture from MVP to fleet scale and led delivery across cross-functional teams, prioritizing observability, safe failure modes, and maintainable modular design. I take ownership of device software architecture decisions that directly impact deployment stability, field reliability, and system longevity.
Production Impact at Scale
- 13+ years delivering embedded firmware and IoT systems in production.
- Supported device fleets ranging from 500 to 50,000 connected devices.
- Reduced field incidents by 30–60% through OTA rollback, diagnostics, and watchdog recovery.
- Improved battery life by 20–40% with low-power design and sleep-state tuning.
- Accelerated time-to-market by 25–40% via modular firmware architecture and CI tooling.
Experience spans automotive, healthcare, industrial, and energy systems with strict uptime and compliance requirements.

Selected Impact & Achievements
- Re-architected boot/OTA pipeline → 35% fewer field failures → healthcare IoT deployments.
- Redesigned RTOS task model → 2x throughput under load → industrial gateway firmware.
- Optimized power states and wake strategy → 30% longer battery life → portable sensor line.
- Stabilized wireless stack and retries → 40% fewer disconnects → smart lighting fleet.
Why Teams Bring Me In
- Firmware is unstable before manufacturing and needs production hardening.
- MVP firmware must scale into a modular, maintainable architecture.
- Wireless reliability drops in real-world environments.
- OTA strategy needs safe rollout, rollback, and version management.
- Power consumption is too high for the target battery life.
- Field support incidents require better diagnostics and telemetry.
Work & Engagement
Explore production deployments, architecture breakdowns, and firmware deep dives: Projects, GitHub, and YouTube.
Building a connected product? Let’s make sure your firmware won’t fail in the field. I deliver architecture reviews, field-failure triage, and production-readiness consulting focused on measurable stability improvements.
Typical engagements:
- 60–90 minute architecture review with a risk report.
- Production-readiness audit before manufacturing.
- Field-failure root cause analysis with a stabilization plan.
