About

I’m an Embedded Firmware Engineer with 3.8 years of experience in real-time embedded systems, focusing on Embedded C/C++, RTOS (FreeRTOS/RTX5), HAL development, and device drivers for UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, Ethernet, and RS-485. Experienced with ARM-based MCUs like TI TMS570, STM32, and NXP S32K/i.MX RT, I’ve contributed to projects such as the KAVACH Railway Safety System (SIL-4), a CAN-based Bootloader, and a Smart Water Meter System (M-Bus over RS-485). Skilled in debugging with J-Link, ULINK2, Logic Analyzer, and Oscilloscope, following MISRA-C and ISO 26262 standards. Passionate about developing reliable, safety-critical firmware and continuously improving in communication stacks and hardware–software integration.

Projects & Key Contributions:
🔸 Railway Safety System (Kavach, SIL4)
Working on Station-to-Station communication as part of Kavach safety protocol implementation on TI TM4C and TMS570 microcontrollers.
Developed Application Layer for TI TM4C/TMS570 to support real-time station and RIU communication per RDSO Annexure.
Implemented Siemens Westrace UDP protocol for railway signal transmission.
Ensured MISRA C compliance using LDRA, contributing to SIL4 certification.
🔸 CAN Bootloader (IMXRT 1170/1064)
Built a robust bootloader using PEAK CAN and ISO-TP APIs in Visual Studio.
Enabled OTA update support and debugged frame timing using Logic & Peak Analyzers.
🔸 Board Bring-Up & HAL Development
Designed HAL for Shark CAN analyzer board (USB, UART, FatFs logging), integrated with QT/QML-based CAN monitor.
Brought up STM32H7 board and implemented Ethernet stack using Mongoose TCP/UDP, along with SD card FATFS.
Debugged schematic and firmware issues on robotics power board (PMBus, UART, I2C, SPI sensors).
🔸 Smart Water Meter (RS-485 / M-Bus Protocol)
Integrated server and embedded firmware communication over RS-485 for 250 water meters.
Wrote back-end server code (Linux) and firmware (CCS) to ensure 100% data integrity.
🔸 Instrumentation Cluster
Led end-to-end board bring-up and hardware/firmware integration.
Developed HAL for CAN, PWM, ADC, GPIO, Input Capture, and implemented a CRC-validated protocol.
Successfully met 100% client requirements and testing standards.
🔸 Root Cause Analysis
Diagnosed and resolved hardware-software issues (e.g., incorrect sensor readings), reducing QA cycle time.
