Summary

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic Embedded Systems Engineer with hands-on expertise in various microcontrollers, including Atmel | Microchip ATmega328P, ATmega2560, Espressif ESP32, ESP8266, as well as STM F4 and L4. Additionally, I have experience with Raspberry Pi platforms, including Zero and 4B, and possess a robust hardware knowledge base.

Currently, I serve as an Embedded Platform (GET) at MBit Wireless Pvt Ltd., where I bring valuable experience in microcontroller programming and device driver development, particularly in hardware communication protocols such as UART and Shared Peripheral DMA for slow-speed hardware communication.

My professional journey includes significant involvement in embedded hardware and PCB designing, gained through a start-up project incubated in the Atal Incubation Centre - PECF, sponsored by AICTE & MOE Innovation Cell. This initiative focused on developing a women’s safety watch, an SOS device.

I am dedicated to expanding my knowledge, advancing my career, and applying my skills to contribute to challenging projects in the field of Embedded Systems.
