About Wladimir

Freelance Embedded Engineer with a focus on Linux Kernel, AOSP/BSP development, and Embedded C/C++. I have experience in MCU programming (FreeRTOS), ARM Processors, SoC, SoM, IoT, Cybersecurity, as well as Hardware Design (Altium) and have implemented projects in medical technology, adhering to relevant standards. Available for projects in Germany, remote, or with short onsite assignments.

I have extensive experience with hardware and embedded platforms such as ESP32, Nordic Chips, Qualcomm SoCs, Raspberry Pi, and NVIDIA Jetson. In addition to low-level and hardware development, I also create high-level applications for embedded devices, e.g., in Qt or Android, and integrate user interfaces and application logic directly on embedded platforms.
