<p class="about-lead">
Versatile R&D professional with <strong>10+ years</strong> of experience in conceptualization and
development of microcontroller-based products and solutions for the <strong>electric vehicle</strong> ecosystem.
</p>
<p>
I specialize in designing <strong>modular, reusable software architectures</strong> that enable businesses
to scale faster, reduce time-to-market, and maintain exceptional quality across product lines.
My approach focuses on building robust platform software that serves as the foundation for
motor controllers, battery management systems, and connectivity ECUs.
</p>
<p>
From low-level device drivers to complete middleware stacks and application, from lightweight custom bootloaders
to automotive-standard UDS bootloaders — I architect software with end-to-end ownership that is
<strong>portable across platforms</strong>, <strong>tested rigorously</strong>, and <strong>built to last</strong>.

<h3>Architecture Principles</h3>
<div class="principles-grid">
<div class="principle">
<div class="principle-num">01</div>
<h4>Layered Isolation</h4>
<p>Strict separation between application, services, and drivers ensures changes in one layer don't cascade through the system.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<div class="principle-num">02</div>
<h4>Platform Portability</h4>
<p>Abstract hardware dependencies behind clean interfaces. Migrate to new MCUs by swapping only the BSP layer.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<div class="principle-num">03</div>
<h4>Git Sub-Module Strategy</h4>
<p>Each reusable module lives in its own repository. Products compose modules via Git sub-modules for rapid integration — sharing updates across projects and modules becomes seamless.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<div class="principle-num">04</div>
<h4>Dual Target Strategy</h4>
<p>Middleware and application software are developed and tested on both PC (host) and MCU (target) simultaneously — guaranteeing zero hardware dependency and seamless portability to new microcontrollers.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<div class="principle-num">05</div>
<h4>OOP in C — Emulated</h4>
<p>Object-oriented patterns emulated in C enable scalability, polymorphism, and test flexibility. All modules support multiple instances and concurrent operation.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<div class="principle-num">06</div>
<h4>Design First & Domain-Driven</h4>
<p>All changes are documented first, then implemented in code. Software structure, naming, and team organization mirror the domain — keeping docs always current and making collaboration intuitive across all engineering levels.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<div class="principle-num">07</div>
<h4>Test-Driven Development</h4>
<p>Tests are written before code — catching defects early, enabling fearless refactoring, and building confidence that every change works as intended from day one.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<div class="principle-num">08</div>
<h4>Quality Gates</h4>
<p>Every module passes MISRA static analysis, unit testing with coverage, and automated CI/CD before release.</p>
</div>
</div>
