I am an FPGA & Embedded Software Engineer based in Munich/Germany.

• 🎓 M.Sc. in Communications & Electronics at Technical University of Munich.
• 🎓 B.Sc. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from Middle East Technical University.

I bridge the gap between hardware and software, with experience ranging from RTL design to kernel-level driver development.

Embedded systems engineer with expertise in real-time firmware, driver development, and system optimization. From bare-metal ARM Cortex-M programming to kernel-level drivers on VxWorks, I build high-performance embedded solutions. Strong hardware background in RTL design enables deep system-level optimization.

Digital Design & Computer Architecture

• RTL design and implementation in VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog
• Processor architecture: RISC-V and MIPS implementations on FPGA targets
• Hardware verification using OSVVM (VHDL) and Cocotb (Python) frameworks
• FPGA synthesis and implementation via Xilinx Vivado and Intel Quartus Prime
• Timing analysis and optimization for FPGA target frequencies (20-25 MHz achieved)

Embedded Firmware & System Software

• Low-latency firmware development for Arm Cortex-M based embedded systems
• Kernel-level driver development and integration (PCIe 4.0, IPC mechanisms)
• Real-time operating systems: VxWorks 7.0, FreeRTOS, and Linux
• Bare-metal programming with CMSIS API and hardware abstraction layers (HAL)
• Multi-threaded applications with Win32 API and synchronization primitives
• Development environments: Keil µVision, STM32CubeIDE, WindRiver Workbench

Application Development & Integration

• Reusable SDK design and API development in C++17, C# (.NET), and Python
• GUI development with Qt framework for real-time system monitoring
• Multi-threaded application architecture with asynchronous data fetching
• REST API integration and data serialization
• Agile development with Git version control and Jira task tracking

Hardware Verification & Tooling

• HDL verification using OSVVM (VHDL) and Cocotb (Python) frameworks
• Self-checking testbenches with scoreboards and assertion-based verification
• Waveform analysis and debugging with ModelSim and Vivado XSim
• Embedded debugging with SEGGER J-Link, GDB, and ITM/SWO tracing
• Cross-platform build automation with CMake and GNU Make

I specialize in the complete hardware-software stack:

• Hardware Layer: Designing and verifying digital systems from RTL to FPGA implementation
• Firmware Layer: Developing efficient, real-time embedded software for resource-constrained systems
• Driver Layer: Creating kernel-level drivers to bridge hardware and operating systems
• Application Layer: Building robust software solutions with modern frameworks and tools

My multidisciplinary background enables me to optimize across the entire system, ensuring seamless integration from silicon to software.
