Embedded Software Engineer & Senior Rust Engineer

Systems engineer at heart, Rust enthusiast by choice. I build low-level software that ships — from embedded Linux drivers for industrial hardware to high-performance CLI tools and network utilities. I live at the intersection of bare-metal hardware and modern software craftsmanship, writing code that runs reliably in places where crashes aren't an option.
