Bogdan Baloi

Designed and built the complete HMI software layer for an industrial control system on a 1920x1080 touchscreen, communicating with PLCs via OPC-UA in real time.

Designed the full MVP architecture separating business logic from UI rendering, enabling independent testing and runtime view-swapping.

Applied the Observer pattern so multiple UI components react to state changes without coupling to application logic.

Designed a multi-threaded event pipeline: hardware/PLC signals on background threads, processed on a dedicated application thread, safely forwarded to the UI thread.

Implemented the full presenter layer (real-time state, status aggregation, workflow lifecycle, external system monitoring, PLC error handling).

Built a JSON-driven layout engine that loads UI structure at runtime. Implemented i18n for multi-language deployment.

Authored UI layouts and a custom CSS theme on top of GTK4 default styling.

Delivered embedded software (C/C++) for automotive ECUs and connected (IoT) systems.

Developed CAN, LIN, Ethernet protocol handlers and middleware for ECU network management. Integrated TCP/IP communication layers plus MQTT clients (Mosquito, AWS IoT Core, WolfMQTT) for cloud-connected smart devices.

Implemented a hardware-agnostic peripheral driver layer (UART, I2C, SPI) on FreeRTOS for a railway embedded platform: driver design, low-level debugging, hardware-software integration.

Maintained CMake-based build systems. Owned documentation and traceability under Agile and V-cycle practices.

Customer interface: onsite workshops in Markdorf (Continental) for debugging, requirement clarification, design reviews.

Served as Team Lead for 1 year (10-engineer team): task planning, recruiting, evaluations, customer reporting.

Developed OTA/FOTA agents, MVC-based HMI applications, complex firmware state machines.

Conducted onsite workshops in Stuttgart for requirement clarification and customer issue resolution.

Managed full software lifecycle: requirements, architecture, design, implementation, testing, traceability.
