Back to original languageAbout Sarra
R&D Engineer specializing in embedded systems and ADAS, I have been supporting technical teams for over 7 years on high-stakes projects in automotive and smart mobility—from sensor perception to embedded deployment.
I primarily work with R&D teams, deeptech startups, and automotive suppliers who need cutting-edge expertise in:
- ADAS and autonomous driving development — ROS/ROS2, C++, Python, Autoware, CARLA
- Sensor data processing and fusion — Lidar, Radar, Camera, IMU
- V2X / C-ITS communication — ETSI, PKI, UDP, Cohda Wireless
- Embedded AI integration — YOLO, Segformer, OpenCV, Isaac ROS, Nvidia Jetson
- Embedded user interfaces — Qt/QML, C++
What sets me apart: I cover both low-level (drivers, sensors, real-time) and high-level (algorithms, AI, GUI). I understand and act on the entire technical stack—a rare profile in the autonomous driving ecosystem.
Autonomous, rigorous, and accustomed to demanding R&D contexts, I bring both development skills and agile project management and technical documentation expertise.
Available for freelance missions in Paris and remotely. Contact me to discuss your project.
