About me
Embedded systems and C++ engineer building complete products, from the firmware on the board to the desktop software around it. I've shipped commercial products in automotive, industrial, fintech and IoT, including a full motorsport dashboard platform: a Qt 6 design app, the firmware that runs it, OTA updates over CAN, and offline licensing. I can help with embedded firmware (STM32, RTOS, CAN, OTA), Qt/C++ desktop apps, full products, and modern C++ review and mentoring. Production-ready, well-tested work with clear communication. Tell me about your project and let's build it.... Read more

Embedded & Desktop Systems Engineer

• Delivered a commercial motorsport instrument-cluster product end to end — a Qt 6 desktop design app, the embedded firmware that renders dashboards on the display hardware, over-the-air updates, and offline licensing. • Designed the file format and authoring tools that let users build dashboards and change them on the device without recompiling firmware. • Debugged a graphics driver that was bypassing the GPU and reworked rendering to raise on-device frame rates, measured on hardware. • Built OTA updates over the vehicle's existing CAN wiring — a 3.25 MB update in about 55 seconds.

    Erick is a true professional with a deep understanding of how embedded systems work. In this project, he supported me a lot in running LVGL from scratch. He was very helpful, proactive, and kind. I believe everyone needs someone like Erick for their project. I will definitely come back with other tasks. Thank you Erick !
