Expertise

Embedded Linux

Persistent, high-uptime Linux platforms for connected devices in the field: system architecture, service supervision, data integrity, over-the-air updates and remote monitoring for hardware that runs unattended.

Embedded Linux IoT systemd

Software Engineering

Cloud platforms and full-stack software for connected fleets, built on AWS with security at the core: authentication, access control, network hardening and infrastructure that scales cost-effectively.

AWS Cybersecurity Next.js

Mechatronics

Safety-critical, real-time software for heavy machinery, delivered as complete systems alongside mechanical, electrical and hydraulic engineers, from schematics and I/O through field commissioning.

Safety-Critical Real-Time CAN / J1939

Automation

Software-driven automation for heavy equipment, from concept to deployment: control theory, PID and feed-forward control, state machines and simulation-led design of control strategies.
