Built real-time embedded systems on STM32 and ESP32, AI agent tooling with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and deployed web applications. Skilled in C, C++, Python and Verilog, with hands-on experience in IoT firmware-to-cloud pipelines, RTL design and computer architecture.

Work experience

• IoT & Embedded Systems Intern

  Jun 2026

  Wiman Communication Technology - embedded hardware and IoT product development (4G cellular gateways)

  • Prototyped and assembled PCBs for the 4G gateway product line, bringing up cellular IoT boards with SIM-based LTE modules.
  • Validated the SIM-based cellular module through functional testing, confirming reliable connectivity before hardware sign-off.
  • Implemented an end-to-end IoT data pipeline covering sensor data acquisition, 4G transmission, cloud upload and remote access.

• Freelance Video Editor & Game Developer

  Jun 2026 - Present

  Melvin Deva - Instagram content creator

  • Edited and delivered short-form Instagram videos on recurring deadlines, owning the process from raw footage to final export.
  • Developing a finance-based physical board game for the same client that teaches players of all ages to make sound financial decisions.

Projects

• Emergency Traffic Light Preemption System

  2026
  • Architected a distributed real-time embedded network across 3 ESP32 nodes over ESP-NOW, achieving sub-10 ms inter-node signalling latency with FSM-based intersection logic for deterministic emergency vehicle preemption.
  • Deployed a live Raspberry Pi telemetry dashboard using MQTT pub/sub, streaming node state, alert events, response latency and manual override controls across the full embedded pipeline.

• Web Search MCP Server for LM Studio

  GitHub
  • Built a Python MCP server using the DuckDuckGo API as its search backend, giving locally hosted LM Studio language models live internet access through tool calling.

• Vouchlock - The Delivery Ledger

  GitHub
  • Designed a project management tool that connects an incoming client brief to daily execution and explicit proof of delivery, serving as a single source of truth for what was requested and what shipped.
  • Replaced the to-do-list-first model of typical project tools with requirement clarification and verified proof of delivery.

• Web Development Projects

  Cognix 2026 Website
  • Developed the official website for Cognix 2026, a college hackathon, and built three additional web apps deployed on GitHub Pages: Construction Company site, Flowcraft WebApp and FashionSite demo.

• 4-DOF Intelligent Robotic Automation System

  2026
  • Engineered a 4-DOF pick-and-place robotic arm using Arduino and ESP32, with a custom web interface for real-time manual control and programmable task execution.
  • Developed AI gesture-controlled operation using STM32, MediaPipe and YOLOv8 over low-latency UART, plus an HSV colour-based sorting subsystem on an STM32F446RE achieving 98% sorting accuracy.
