About

I am a software engineer with eight years of experience building embedded Linux guidance and control systems in C, C++, Qt/QML, and Python for GNSS-based precision agriculture platforms at TeeJet Technologies. Alongside deep technical execution, I took on cross-functional coordination as an Interim Scrum Master, and in 2026 I grounded that practical experience with PSM I/II and PSPO I certifications. I work both tracks with equal footing: hands-on engineering, and the delivery leadership that keeps complex work moving.

What I bring

Systems-level perspective across long-lived embedded codebases, paired with an equal focus on team delivery, quality, and technical risk.

How I work

Clear facilitation, practical technical communication, early risk signals, and alignment between engineering and leadership.

What I value

Transparency, team flow, correctness, maintainability, and steady delivery under real constraints.

System Evaluation

Architecture reviews, delivery risk identification, and maintainability assessment.

Embedded Engineering

Embedded Linux, C/C++, Qt/QML, and Python in production GNSS guidance systems built on CAN bus (ISOBUS, NMEA 2000).

Technical Due Diligence

Clear, grounded technical assessments to support informed delivery decisions.

Skills Snapshot

Key areas I work in most often, across both engineering and delivery.

Strengths

  • Embedded development in C, C++, Qt/QML, and Python on embedded Linux platforms
  • System-level defect investigation across CAN-based subsystems (ISOBUS, NMEA 2000)
  • Scrum facilitation, delivery coordination, and guiding teams through Agile transitions
  • Bug triage, QA alignment, and cross-functional collaboration with electrical, mechanical, and controls engineers
  • Remote-first team support with high accountability

Ecosystem

  • Engineering: C/C++, Qt/QML, Python, Shell scripting, Embedded Linux, UML
  • Systems: CAN bus (ISOBUS/ISO 11783, NMEA 2000), GNSS/GPS-based guidance, control systems, digital logic
  • Lifecycle: Jenkins (CI/CD), Git/SVN, Bugzilla, Review Board
  • Agile: LeanKit, Scrum-aligned ceremonies, Backlog Refinement
  • AI Tooling: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI (used for triage and auditing)

Software Developer & Interim Scrum Master

TeeJet Technologies | May 2018 – March 2026

Operating on a tight-knit team of seven (1 PO, 1 SM, 5 Devs) over an eight-year tenure, I developed guidance and control software in C, C++, Qt/QML, and Python for an embedded Linux field computer platform consuming real-time GNSS/GPS positioning data. I investigated complex system-level defects across CAN-based subsystems (ISOBUS/ISO 11783, NMEA 2000) and collaborated with electrical, mechanical, and controls engineers on hardware/software integration and board-level debugging. To ensure uninterrupted team velocity, I regularly served as Interim Scrum Master, taking ownership of Daily Scrums, Sprint Planning, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives, and contributed heavily to backlog refinement, QA alignment, and clear stakeholder communication. I returned for a final year as a remote contractor to support production release efforts.
