About

𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬. I am an Embedded Systems Engineer and the founder of 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿. After working with embedded software, Linux systems, and production firmware, I noticed a clear problem in how embedded systems are learned. Too much theory. Too little connection to real products. PinAndPaper started as handwritten notes to simplify complex embedded concepts. Today it has evolved into a product-first learning platform for embedded engineers. The focus is simple: • Strong fundamentals • Real hardware constraints • System-level engineering thinking Our first embedded learning product is now live, designed to take engineers from fundamentals to real embedded system development. I am currently focused on: • Building PinAndPaper as the long-term learning platform for embedded engineers • Designing practical, product-driven learning experiences • Sharing the journey of building deep-tech education in public Learning, rethought. From blank pages to real systems
