Carlos F.

I’m Carlos, a versatile Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience turning complex problems into working, reliable solutions. My background is in embedded systems, real-time software, and hardware integration, but I don’t stop there, I thrive across the entire stack, from firmware to front-end. WHAT DO I DO? * Embedded & Hardware-Connected Systems: ARM/STM32, RTOS (FreeRTOS, ThreadX), Bluetooth LE, device drivers, signal processing, FPGA interfacing, NI PXI, and low-power algorithm design. * Software & Applications: REST APIs, system testing, automation frameworks, Python backends, and full SDLC management. * Front-End & UI/UX: Web apps (Flutter, React, Angular), embedded UIs, and mobile (iOS/Android). * AI & Next-Gen Tech: Large Language Models (LLM) integration, AI-assisted workflows, and custom automation. WHY MY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME? * Breadth + Depth: I cover a wide range, from hardware-level coding to cloud APIs and front-end interfaces. * Fast Learner: If I haven’t done it yet, I’ll learn it fast. I’ve proven this repeatedly in my career by jumping into new tech stacks, tools, and problem domains and delivering results. * Problem Solver: I bring a “figure it out” mentality. Whether it’s debugging an embedded driver or architecting an AI-powered pipeline, I focus on delivering practical, working solutions. CREDENTIALS AND HIGHLIGHTS * Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (Oklahoma State University). * 39+ certifications spanning computer science, cybersecurity, and AI. * Experience leading high-stakes R&D projects, mentoring teams, and designing products used worldwide. BOTTOM LINE I’m not just a coder, I’m a systems thinker who can bridge hardware and software, old tools and new technologies, deep technical detail and big-picture goals.
