Technical Skills

Languages

• C#: Started journey with .Net platform. Spent long time with Windows development including P/Invoke and system internals.
• C/C++: Used for embedded development. My primary language as of last few years.
• Python: More than 8 years of time spent in Python. My most used (as in time spend writing code) programming language. Mostly for first and quick prototyping systems and using as a step to start development.
• HTML/CSS/JS: Using bare web technologies, designed many pages for different purposes including (but not limited to) my own webpage.

Tools and Platforms

• Embedded Ecosystem: STM32Cube (HAL, CubeMX, IDE), PlatformIO, Arduino, .Net nanoFramework
• Build Systems: GCC, CMake, GNU Make
• Virtualization & DevOps: Docker, Podman, Distrobox for environment isolation and deployment.
• Version Control: Git and GitHub for collaborative development and CI/CD via GitHub Actions.
• Desktop Development: WinForms, WPF, NuGet, Electron
• Home Automation: Home Assistant, ESPHome, NodeRed

Editors and IDE's

• Visual Studio Code: My primary editor. I perform all my embedded development and editing with it.
• PlatformIO: My first choice when it comes to developing embedded system that requires portability across differenct MCU/MPU's.

Operating Systems

• Arch and derivatives: 5+ years as power user. System-level tuning, tinkering with desktop ecosystem.
• Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives: Primary choice for robotics, AI/ML or self-hosted infrastructure
• Windows: Daily-drove lots of versions for over 12 years
