Field / Autonomy / Hardware Technician -future Enginer for · Embedded Systems · Integrations & Workflow Automation
I like building things that sit between hardware and software:
- Diagnostic and configuration tools for ECUs, microcontrollers, and wireless modules
- API & webhook integrations that glue together fleet, issue tracking, and dashboards
- Lightweight data pipelines that keep operations teams informed
Embedded / Hardware
- Arduino (Nano Every), ESP32, HC-06 Bluetooth, CAN bus
- Automotive-style ECUs and bench setups for diagnostics and testing
Software / Backend
- Python, Node.js / TypeScript
- REST APIs, webhooks, JSON, HTTP
- Scripting & automation for operational workflows
Data & Tooling
- Databricks-style notebooks and Python data tooling
- Google Sheets automation, dashboards & reporting
- Jira / issue tracking integrations
Dev Practices
- Git / GitHub, CI-friendly code structure
- Documentation-first mindset (READMEs, diagrams, examples)
Here are some repos that represent what I like to build:
-
bluetooth-configurator-arduino-hc06
Arduino Nano Every + HC-06 tool for configuring Bluetooth modules via AT commands. -
esp32-wifi-scanner-dashboard
ESP32-based Wi-Fi scanner with a simple dashboard to inspect nearby networks. -
fleet-issue-tracker-integration-simulator
Reference integration between a generic fleet system and a Jira-like issue tracker using webhooks. -
ecu-bench-diagnostics-example
Example ECU-style bench setup with scripts for CAN logging and basic diagnostics. -
fleet-ecu-dashboard-pipeline
Sample data pipeline from “ECU versions” and “vehicles” tables into a summary for dashboards.
⚠️ Note: All projects are generic / fictionalized and do not contain proprietary or confidential work from any employer.
- Tooling for autonomous / automotive systems: better diagnostics, observability, and fleet health.
- Making field & ops workflows less painful with good automation and integrations.
- Building small, focused tools that solve real problems and are easy to understand.
I’m interested in roles such as:
-
Field / Autonomy Engineer
-
Embedded / Systems Engineer
-
Integration / Tooling Engineer
