Embedded & IoT Engineer | LoRaWAN | NB-IoT | System Integration
I’m an Embedded Systems and IoT Engineer with a PhD in Data Science and a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. I specialize in building connected embedded systems from sensors, microcontrollers and firmware to LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, gateways, cloud connectivity and data analytics. My background combines electrical engineering, embedded systems, wireless IoT and data science, allowing me to work across the complete IoT stack. Embedded Systems & Firmware I can help with: • Embedded C/C++ • ESP32, STM32 and Arduino • Sensor and actuator integration • UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, RS485 and Modbus • Firmware development and debugging • Hardware/software integration • Embedded Linux • Industrial monitoring and control • Device communication and telemetry LoRaWAN & LPWAN I have a particular focus on long-range, low-power IoT systems, including: • LoRaWAN end devices and sensor nodes • LoRaWAN gateways • LoRaWAN network/server integration • MQTT-based telemetry • Device provisioning and configuration • Low-power battery-operated devices • Long-range sensor networks • Remote monitoring and telemetry • Industrial, agricultural and environmental IoT Cellular IoT I also work with cellular IoT technologies such as: • NB-IoT • LTE-M / Cat-M • Cellular telemetry • MQTT/HTTP communication • Remote device monitoring • Cloud-connected devices IoT Systems I can help develop and integrate systems across: Sensors → MCU → Wireless Network → Gateway → MQTT/API → Cloud → Dashboard → Data/AI This includes smart monitoring systems, industrial IoT, agriculture IoT, energy monitoring, asset monitoring and other connected-device applications. Data Science & Edge Intelligence My PhD in Data Science adds another layer to embedded and IoT projects. I can work with sensor and telemetry data for: • Anomaly detection • Predictive maintenance • Time-series analysis • Machine learning • Equipment health monitoring • Sensor data analytics • Edge AI and intelligent devices Projects I Can Help With • LoRaWAN sensor networks • NB-IoT devices • IoT gateways • ESP32 / STM32 firmware • Industrial IoT systems • Remote monitoring systems • Sensor-based products • Smart agriculture systems • Energy and utility monitoring • Asset tracking and telemetry • MQTT and cloud IoT integration • Firmware debugging • Hardware/software integration • Edge AI and intelligent sensor systems System Integration I also specialize in integrating different hardware, firmware, communication and software components into a complete working system. This includes: • Hardware and firmware integration • Sensors, actuators and microcontrollers • LoRaWAN and cellular IoT connectivity • Gateways and network infrastructure • MQTT, REST APIs and cloud platforms • Device-to-cloud communication • Third-party API and platform integration • Industrial protocols such as Modbus, RS485 and CAN • IoT dashboards and monitoring systems • Data pipelines and analytics • End-to-end system troubleshooting and debugging I can work at both the individual component level and the overall system level, ensuring that devices, communication networks, backend services and applications work together reliably. I can work with an existing prototype, firmware codebase, hardware design or technical specification, as well as help architect a new IoT system from the ground up. My focus is on building reliable systems that work beyond the prototype stage with practical consideration for communication, power consumption, device reliability, data integrity and deployment. If you have an embedded or IoT project, send me your requirements, existing hardware/firmware, or system architecture and I can help determine the best technical approach.
