Summary I specialize in ARM-based microcontrollers, including STM, Nordic, Renesas, Texas Instruments, and AVR, and bring experience in Agile methodologies across all stages of product development. As a project leader, I managed team backlogs, client negotiations, and technology discussions, while adhering to high coding standards like MISRA C/C++. I am eager to apply my engineering and project management skills to innovative projects.
